It’s been a while since we last heard about Bungie’s new ‘Marathon’ extraction shooter, but it’s suddenly now reappeared with a new teaser trailer - revealing that a full gameplay reveal showcase will be taking place this Saturday.
Specifically, Marathon’s gameplay reveal is set for April 12th at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT / 6pm BST. You’ll be able to watch the full thing on Twitch, and we’ll be recapping it here at Pure Xbox ASAP after the event as well.
As a reminder, here’s what Bungie says about Marathon:
Marathon is a team-based extraction shooter and the first completely new project from Bungie, the creators of Halo and Destiny, in more than a decade. Set on the mysterious planet of Tau Ceti IV, Marathon will see players inhabit the bodies of Runners, cybernetic mercenaries who have been designed to survive the planet’s harsh environments. While exploring the lost colony that once inhabited the surface, players will search for valuable loot including new weapons and gear.
Bungie is obviously a PlayStation-owned studio these days, so there’s been some debate about whether Marathon will launch on Xbox, but it’s once again been mentioned as an Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S game this week.
All that’s left is to see what Bungie has in store for us - here’s hoping it’s going to be as good as Halo / Destiny!
I moved to linux and cant even play it. Its sad because I loved that game, but ill never be able to replay my favorite levels because live service…
I dropped it like it was hot when they removed 1/2 the game. Frankly, as a Linux player, you aren’t missing much.
The problem was Bungie never could decide what kind of game it was supposed to be. Did they want a plot driven FPS adventure game that could be played solo or with friends, or did they want a story free F2P PvP shooter funded by cosmetics?
In my mind, they should have split the game in two: A paid story game with missions and what not, and a F2P PvP game with all the bogus currencies and cosmetics.
Allow players to use the same characters in either, balance the sandboxes separately, make money selling story missions quarterly in one and make money selling funny hats in the other.
I was just there for the space opera…
If there was a way to get linux to play it, I really havent even bothered checking after that neon expansion.
Yeah, they were actively banning Linux players, even folks just trying to play on Steam Deck.
Woof… Yah pass…
