Bungie announces new Marathon game at PlayStation Showcase
Bungie is returning to one of its oldest franchises for its next game.
During the PlayStation Showcase, Bungie appeared to reveal its first new project as a member of PlayStation Studios. In a surprising move, the studio is making a new Marathon game, returning to one of its earliest franchises.
The last Marathon game out in the late 1990s, rounding out a trilogy of shooters that would pre-date some of the studio's most notable work. Since then, Bungie has pumped out blockbuster hits including the Halo and Destiny franchises. Now, the company will reinvent Marathon as an extraction shooter, tapping into a popular subgenre of the battle royale craze.
Despite Sony's multi-billion dollar acquisition of Bungie, Marathon will be a multi-platform game, coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. If you're trying to keep up with all of the PlayStation Showcase news, we've got you taken care of.

sci-fi PvP extraction shooter haha
Before reading the article I almost rant about Bungie probably not having the faintest idea of how to develop a single-player game/story, I just finished Lightfall a couple days ago and that was the most awful experience even by GaaS standards.
Their Destiny PvP is fun alright, probably a hell to balance, a bit disappointed that nuMarathon isn't single player but they got me interested in this.-

They'll off load that on to a companion app.

This smells to me the market researchers have taken over the asylum.

Interesting visual style but I imagine the gameplay will be very safe and aimed at lowest common denominator mass market live service time sucking

Well that's just 6 minutes of bullshit corporate buzzwords, with zero actual substance.

i ACTUALLY don't understand why devs/publishers keep doing this kind of shit
like when was the last time a dev/publisher revived a beloved, classic IP that people have been clamoring for for years but failed to make it the same sort of game that made it so beloved and it... worked?
like the xcom fps vs the xcom turn based remake should be like a fucking textbook case of the kind of money devs/publishers are leaving on the table by pulling this shit -
The art style looks sick, but PvP is a hard pass for me. It's such a shame they are wasting the Marathon property on this. Just come up with a new IP. None of the demographic you are trying to appeal to knows anything about the old Marathon games anyway. This game is just going to crash and burn in a year anyway, when it doesn't hit some arbotrary growth numbers that some bean counter projects a GaaS game should be hitting.
