'Our vision for this game is something new. It’s not a direct sequel to the originals, but something that certainly belongs in the same universe and that feels like a Bungie game.'
Bungie is best known as the studio behind Halo and Destiny, but before it did any of that, it made Marathon, a groundbreaking FPS released in 1994 for the Apple Macintosh. During today's PlayStation Showcawe, the studio made the surprise announcement that Marathon is coming back, but it won't be quite the game it was 30 years ago.
That's right, Marathon is now an extraction shooter, in which players will"compete for survival, riches, and renown in a world of evolving, persistent zones, where any run can lead to greatness." "Marathon is designed from the start as a PvP-focused game and won’t have a single-player campaign. Instead, with the PvP experience as our foundation, we’re creating opportunities for player-driven stories to unfold, stories that are integrated with the overarching game narrative. We’re building a world full of persistent, evolving zones, where players create their own journey with every run they take.
