Marathon – Bungie’s Next Big Game

Marathon is an old title that Bungie is rebooting. The original game almost destroyed the studio, forcing it to make a deal to create a sci-fi shooter called Halo—a title that brought the studio success and fame. Marathon started production four years ago and features six heroes, compared to Marvel rivals, which launched with over 20 heroes. It is a squad-based extraction shooter, a niche genre, and it’s unclear whether gamers are interested in it. Only two games in this genre have been successful so far, and both are free-to-play—unlike this offering.
