From the creators of Halo and Destiny comes Marathon, Bungie's new sci-fi extraction shooter.

I’m way late to the party, but just found out about Marathon, by Bungie.

Marathon, by Bungie

I don’t really play FPS games, but the trailer looks awesome!

What do you guys think?

Also, do you reckon it’ll be F2P? I saw a video on YT that suggested that.

Much love,

    I’m unclear if you’re familiar with the Marathon IP, and just discovered the new game they’re making, or if you’re just discovering Marathon as a whole, but if it’s the latter, you might be interested to find out that there were 3 games in the Marathon series already, released back in the 90s, around the same time as Doom / Doom 2, and they were incredible, as one of if not the first FPS with a heavy focus on storyline over just run and gun shooting. What’s more, you can play them for free, through this open-source engine that runs the original map files, and has been endorsed by the game’s original creators.

      I was unfamiliar with Marathon as a whole, but the YT video I linked did mention there were other, older games. I wonder if the new game will take much from the older ones…

      Thank you for the link, I’ll definitely give them a try :D

        Based on what we know of the new game (which isn’t much), it appears to be a sequel of sorts that takes place well after the events of the original games, as far as storyline or theming goes, but the gameplay looks like it’ll be quite different.
