Bungie's Marathon Gets Its First Update in Over A Year Albeit With Few New Details
After more than a year of silence, Bungie has given an update on the development progress of its extraction shooter Marathon. The lengthy video is surprisingly light on details, however, with only a hint of future playtests coming in 2025.
The update, delivered by game director Joe Ziegler, acts more like a reintroduction to Bungie's latest shooter as opposed to a meaningful update. Ziegler spends time explaining what an extraction shooter is, breaking down the high risk, high reward nature of the genre, while also giving brief hints as to how the games different classes might work. It aligns with a lot of what we already know about Bungie's shooter, making it a gameplay update light on new details
In the video, Ziegler briefly speaks about two of the game's Runners--the name given to Marathon's playable characters--with each of their descriptions suggesting that Marathon is taking hints from existing hero shooters. The first is simply codenamed "Thief", with Ziegler assuming you'll have an idea of their gameplay style from the name alone. The other, codenamed "Stealth", is described as using deception to their advantage on the battlefield, with Ziegler remarking that he's enjoyed playing as the character in tests recently.
