Marathon's game director spoke about wanting to let players get into extraction shooters without having to deal with "cruft".
However, director Joe Ziegler also feels that Marathon "could be exciting" for fans who like many "PvP sandbox experiences."
The sci-fi extraction shooter will receive a fourth map shortly after it launches on September 23rd for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
"Part of the burden on us is to ensure every adventure that every season offers is in and of itself different," says Bungie's Joe Ziegler.
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.

The extraction shooter is troubled studio Bungie's next big project, but allegedly, it might not be taking the best shape behind-the-scenes.
Despite the critical success of The Final Shape, the studio has faced significant layoffs, with other changes reportedly inbound.
Roughly 17 percent of the studio's workforce is being eliminated, in addition to over 200 additional roles that are being moved elsewhere within PlayStation.
Bungie's classic shooter trilogy is starting making its way to Steam, with the first game in the trilogy being out now for free.
