From the creators of Halo and Destiny comes Marathon, Bungie's new sci-fi extraction shooter.

I’m way late to the party, but just found out about Marathon, by Bungie.

Marathon, by Bungie

I don’t really play FPS games, but the trailer looks awesome!

What do you guys think?

Also, do you reckon it’ll be F2P? I saw a video on YT that suggested that.

Much love,

    Someone else said it better on the Fairgame$ trailer but this also has “Thanks to all our players but we’re unfortunately ending support” 1 year later vibes to it.

    Bungie is the sort of the company that won’t actually kill a project 1 year into it despite its flaws, it has money to keep it afloat, but it just feels like a generic extractions shooter as a live service in the sea of extraction shooters as a live service. If any other studio put out this trailer and I would immediately assume it’s just going to be cancelled before launch.

      Huh, well that’s disheartening… Is there any extraction shooter you recommend?

      I mean, if there’s so many, I’d think they have something that distinguishes them besides just aesthetics, right? I hope Marathon can bring some fresh air to the genre. IDK

        Hunt Showdown and Marauders are both pretty good. I feel like right now Anthony they can bring to the saturated market won’t matter much. Even though those two are great games, I don’t play them because extraction shooters are more on their way out. I don’t get the spark of joy in them that I did.

    Dang. I was optimistic that they may be trying out a linear single player shooter, but I guess that was naive of me. The live service model is making so much money for them, so they’re doing the most sensible thing. This is just them recycling some old IP, not an actual revival.
