That's cool that Bungie are doing something with Marathon after all this time

Yeah, I don't know if this will be for me but it's a very cool and unique teaser.

 

In a weird twist this is also coming to Xbox btw. No idea how that happened.

They've said since the acquisition that they'd remain multiplatform.

I like bungie stuff and the trailer looked cool, apparently its possibly a multiplayer only game.

Insider Gaming: Bungie's 'Marathon' Gameplay Loop, Features, Progression, And More

 

Quote

 

So what exactly is Marathon? Marathon is a 3-person extraction shooter with features that you might find familiar if you play games like Escape From Tarkov. However, if you're not a fan of playing as a team, it's understood that you can jump into a server as a duo or solo if you wish, but you'll still face bigger teams. Extracting without your team is also seemingly a feature.
 

The core gameplay loop of Marathon is as follows:
 

• Chose your missions (to complete in the game)
• Buy / Chose your loadout/perks/abilities/gear
• Drop into a server
• Hunt for loot / Complete missions / Explore and find secrets
• Extract
• Spend XP on Updates
• Repeat

The game features three different types of items, loot, implants, and perks. In the current game, permadeath is a feature, but it's understood that players will only lose their loot (weapons, artifacts, currency, etc.) whereas implants are sometimes lost and perks are never lost.
