Marathon Releases March 5 '26 - $39.99

Probably gonna wait for this one to go on sale but I do want to give bungie the benefit of the doubt despite their... internal social issues. Gunplay is what they do best after all.

Probably be on PSN sooner rather than later if it doesn't do so well.
 
Why tho? Why make an effort to shit on a game when the devs themselves plagiarized the art for it? 🤷‍♂️
Bro. It was literally ONE Contractor. Who was fired, they had no idea that one random person plagiarized. Dumbasses who don't even know what they're talking about running their mouths.

Hey! HEY! Now look. I agree with you. But that's my baby boy! Watch your tone! :messenger_angry:










Please?

It's time to get over this. Who knows what that one worker who was fired had in mind. Maybe he was going to reach out and get permission? I'd hope so at least but that's neither here nor there. It was not intentional on Bungie's part, they didn't go "HEY! This shit slaps let's steal it!" and the original artist has apparently been made whole. Move on.

If you've got legit issues with the game then by all means post them. Everything anyone has to say now is speculation anyway unless they were in the tests. maybe we can kindly not default to toxicity, I know that may be asking for much though.

Reported.
 
Was about to post it :)

full tweet for context


Video is title Mod comparison 1 so looks like we are getting a few of these for the week.

With over 400 weapon mods and then the runner mods on top should have a ton of build variety.

People are sleeping on this game.
 
Deep dive video into runner shells just dropped in the NDA discord. I imagine it'll be public soon.

Edit: well that was fast

Was able to skim the vid and I'm already MARATHOONING.

Will be watching it in full after work today. Bungie has been cooking the coolest shit I've ever seen. I'm just going to pretend the last fifteen years didn't happen.

I'm at work now too I don't even want to watch any of it until I can fully focus. Get HYPE! I NEED A RELEASE DATE (cause work just scheduled me for something on March 20th which I was planning on taking off, please be a different weekend!)
 
Rook is going to have some cool dynamics since they're immediately identifiable as a solo who's probably not any thread to trios. So a trio might just ignore you and let you be on your way, or maybe give you some better kit and let you become an unofficial teammate but with the tension of being able to fuck the team over in a tight spot.

Thief getting a better grapple as they become more geared is cool.

They're fine, but this is absolutely a competitor.

If ARC Raiders was Tyson, this is Holyfield.
I think it remains to be seen what % of Arc playerbase is only there for the PvE. There's certainly going to be a chunk of players with zero interest in a much more PvP focused game, but there will also be the PvP Arc players who want more. It'll be interesting.

It'll be fascinating to watch the ARC Raiders Steamcharts in March / April.

I've been an ARC > Marathon guy basically the whole time. This is the first time I'm thinking Marathon will end up the better game. It now makes sense that Marathon was built by ~300 and ARC Raiders was built by ~100.
 
I feel the vibe starting to shift everywhere I look, discord, yt, r*ddit, forums. Could always be astroturfed fuckery but I want to believe.
 
The new runner shells video is great, every time I see the game it looks better. Thief drone looks a great/annoying idea, very fitting
 
The more I see of this game, the more I wanna play it. So glad they delayed it, looks and feels much better now. The soundtrack is fuxking ace too. Bring it on!

The drone looked great.

In fact all of the shells look to bring something cool to the table.
I was surprised by that. They all look fun to use. I don't see a strong "main", which means I'll likely be more concerned about proper team composition.
