In a new 3-man squad extraction-based shooter, Bungie is reportedly planning to revive the Marathon series.
According to sources, the title is in the pre-alpha stage. Nonetheless, given the talent shortage in the industry, it might be revealed at any time.
It was said that Marathon takes place on a planet where humans once had a sparse population and used highly customized cyborgs known as "Runners" to collect loot.
Marathon's gameplay loop is similar to most extraction-based shooters: select a mission, purchase and customize your loadout, drop onto the map, hunt for loot and finish missions, and then safely exit.
It's understood that if you have the unfortunate luck of passing away, you will cancel all of your loot, just like most extraction-based shooters.
Before the release of this report, Bungie was contacted several times but did not reply. Additionally, the PR firm for Bungie was contacted; they acknowledged the request but did not comment.
Are you expecting Marathon's return from Bungie? More information is coming.
