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.
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.
