Game Overview:
Marathon is a sci-fi PvP extraction shooter developed and published by Bungie.
Set in the year 2850, it serves as a reboot of Bungie original first person shooter Marathon trilogy, which released between 1994 and 1996.
Bungie just dropped a gripping new animated short for Marathon, giving fans a stylized, haunting look at the brutal world of Tau Ceti IV.
Bungie’s Marathon isn’t just a reboot, it’s a full-scale sci-fi extraction shooter with deep class-based gameplay, tactical decisions, and a loot-driven endgame.
The long-awaited return of Bungie's cult shooter Marathon is finally happening. A brand-new gameplay trailer is live and the game now has a confirmed release date.
Bungie made the announcement in light of several Sony-owned studios releasing games on PC that need PlayStation Network accounts.
The release window rumour comes in light of Bungie gearing up to showcase gameplay for the extraction shooter later this week.
After its initial announcement nearly two years ago, Bungie is finally ready to showcase its upcoming PvP extraction shooter.
A recent change to Marathon's Steam listing's backend indicates that there might be various editions and even launch-day DLC.
Giant Bomb's Jeff Grubb believes Bungie could hold its "own thing separate from a State of Play", much like it does with Destiny.
Codenames Thief and Stealth possess unique abilities, with the latter having tools to "stalk the battlefield" and take advantage.
"We're looking to add a significant amount of players to each of our milestones as we're going forward," says director Joe Ziegler.
The extraction shooter is troubled studio Bungie's next big project, but allegedly, it might not be taking the best shape behind-the-scenes.
Joe Ziegler, who worked as a director on Riot Games' Valorant, is now game director for the upcoming extraction shooter.
The classic shooter is based on an open-source version maintained by fans and features a widescreen HUD and 60+ FPS interpolation support.
A new report claims that following recent layoffs, mood within Bungie has been "soul-crushing" for those who are still at the studio.
As per a new report, if Bungie fails to hit certain financial targets, Sony could dissolve its board and take full control of the company.
Layoffs, alleged delays, reports of poor management - the Destiny 2 and Marathon developer is facing bigger issues than usual.
"Today is a sad day at Bungie as we say goodbye to colleagues who have all made a significant impact on our studio," said CEO Peter Parsons.
Bungie has reportedly been hit with layoffs, joining an ever-growing list of developers and publishers to have cut staff this year.
karakter design studio, which has previously also worked on God of War Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West, is aiding Bungie with Marathon's development.
Andrew Witts, who previously also worked on Rainbow Six Siege, joins Bungie as Gameplay Design Director on Marathon.
Bungie has released a new ViDoc that offers more insight into its upcoming sci-fi PvP extraction shooter.
The shooter will support crossplay and cross-save as players venture to Tau Ceti IV in search of "riches, fame, and infamy."
A new report claims that Bungie is bringing back its mid-90s franchise Marathon, and that an announcement could be made soon.
