Instead,  Bungie\u2019s new sci-fi extraction shooter was delayed until 2025 and still hasn\u2019t reemerged with new gameplay since its initial PlayStation Showcase reveal. At least now, however, we do have a new development update from the project\u2019s game director, Joe Ziegler. It details what fans can expect from the bold reboot, including \u201charsh\u201d survival mechanics that might not be for everybody, but is surprisingly light on information about a game expected to arrive in just a year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-1needdh-1 gRtQsx\">\n<div class=\"sc-1needdh-0 dccRTD instream-native-video instream-permalink instream-native-video--mobile\">\n<div class=\"sc-1h0epat-0 crfeiW\">\n<div class=\"sc-1wkneyl-4 kDKXjm video-html5-playlist\" data-playlist=\"196653,195371,195386\" data-current=\"196653\">\n<div class=\"sc-1wkneyl-0 hAZDOz video-html5-loaded\">\n<div class=\"sc-1wkneyl-1 jShsAa video-html5-player\">\n<div class=\"sc-lhhce6-0 ldLvgq video-html5 autoplay muted mobile\" data-video-id=\"196653\" data-monetizable=\"true\" data-position=\"sidebar\" data-video-title=\"The Week In Games: A Star Wars Classic Returns &amp; More New Releases\" data-video-blog-id=\"9\" data-video-network=\"kotaku\" data-video-duration=\"105\">\n<div class=\"sc-lhhce6-2 emBeiF video-top-bar\">\n<p>The Week In Games: A Star Wars Classic Returns &amp; More New Releases<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><video disablepictureinpicture=\"\" muted=\"\" playsinline=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" preload=\"none\" style=\"max-height:none\"><source data-src=\"https:\/\/vid.kinja.com\/prod\/196653\/196653_240p.mp4\" label=\"240p\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\/><source data-src=\"https:\/\/vid.kinja.com\/prod\/196653\/196653_480p.mp4\" label=\"480p\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\/><source data-src=\"https:\/\/vid.kinja.com\/prod\/196653\/196653_720p.mp4\" label=\"720p\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\/><source data-src=\"https:\/\/vid.kinja.com\/prod\/196653\/196653_1080p.mp4\" label=\"1080p\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\/><track kind=\"captions\" label=\"English\" src=\"https:\/\/kinja.com\/api\/videoupload\/caption\/22209.vtt\" srclang=\"en\"\/><\/video><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\"><span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 erKGZM js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=r8WgMQuPwRE&amp;t=4s&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=r8WgMQuPwRE&amp;t=4s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A new YouTube video<\/a><\/span> outlines the core mechanics and game loop that players will hopefully be diving into sometime in the not-too-distant future. The core gameplay revolves around customizing characters called runners that players take into matches, collecting loot and fending off rivals in order to escape alive lest they lose everything they earned during the outing.

What we did get from Ziegler for the first time was a glimpse of a couple of Runner archetypes codenamed \u201cThief\u201d and \u201cStealth.\u201d What exactly they\u2019ll do remains a mystery, but the concept art, as with everything else in the game, looks really neat. He also gave a very light update on the state of development, including that environments are \u201ccoming together\u201d really well while character models are not \u201ccompletely there yet\u201d and  enemy models are still in an early state. \u201cIt\u2019s a little early to show you all of it as one piece,\u201d Ziegler said, which isn\u2019t exactly reassuring for a game players expected to see at the recent PlayStation State of Play in September.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\"><em>Marathon<\/em>\u2019s big delay came a year ago amid the first round of seismic cuts at Bungie following its acquisition by Sony.  Ziegler, who previously worked on <em>Valorant<\/em> at Riot Games, was announced as the new game director earlier this year, with it only being <span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 erKGZM js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-08-28\/-marathon-video-game-director-barrett-was-ousted-over-inappropriate-behavior&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-08-28\/-marathon-video-game-director-barrett-was-ousted-over-inappropriate-behavior\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported later by <em>Bloomberg<\/em><\/a><\/span> that previous director and longtime Bungie veteran Chris Barrett had been fired for misconduct. Rumors of a $40 price point and new playtests have taken hold in the meantime, with questions about whether <em>Marathon<\/em> is actually really on track yet or not still up in the air. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\"> \u201cFor the past couple of years we\u2019ve been doing a lot of aggressive change to the game and we\u2019ve been iterating pretty heavily,\u201d Ziegler said today. That certainly paints a picture of a game very much still in the middle of development. Perhaps instead of a cold launch in 2025, there will be a series of closed and open betas to get player feedback and grow a fan community around the game instead. <em>Concord<\/em>\u2019s recent failure may have put new pressure on the live-service prospects of <em>Marathon<\/em>, as well as <em>Destiny 2<\/em>&#8216;s evolving future. Ziegler signed off his video by asking players to Wishlist the game on the PlayStation store so they know how interested everyone is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">You can watch the full video below:<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/marathon-scifi-extraction-shooter-bungie-release-date-1851683083\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marathon was originally supposed to arrive this year.
