Do you know that Bungie has been working an ARG (alternate actuality recreation) that had many in the neighborhood working collectively to unlock… the gameplay reveal date of Marathon? I definitely didn’t, however that’s neither right here nor there.
The necessary information is that Bungie is lastly prepared to point out off Marathon gameplay – for the primary time – this Saturday in a livestream.
This announcement follows on from a collection of actually unusual teasers that consisted of some headache-inducing moving graphics, always shifting shapes and peculiar phrases you’ll be able to barely make out.
We’re all very completely happy we received’t must cope with that for much longer to see, properly, something of Bungie’s usually delayed, reportedly troubled extraction shooter. This Saturday, April 12 at 10am PT, 1pm ET, 6pm UK, 7pm CEST the developer is internet hosting a livestream on the game’s Twitch channel to disclose Marathon gameplay for the primary time, supply some updates on improvement, and hopefully ship some news-worthy bulletins.
The beleaguered studio is presently dwelling its arguably worst period, with Destiny persevering with its downturn, and the neighborhood dropping hope within the recreation (and the studio’s) future.
Bungie has lengthy hoped that Marathon would outline its subsequent period, and produce the storied developer again into prominence. Exterior of some brief teasers, nevertheless, Bungie hasn’t produced something value getting enthusiastic about. The sport was initially set to launch final yr, earlier than it received pushed again to 2025. It’s supposedly nonetheless on monitor for launch this yr, so hopefully Saturday’s stream will ship a stable launch date.
Marathon was announced in 2023 as a multiplayer solely, team-based extraction shooter. The sport modified path after its unique director was let go, and although it retained extraction shooter components, it additionally now incorporates hero/character-based mechanics.
Bungie has an actual shot at displaying us the way it’s going to make that concoction of concepts work, but it surely’s tough to get excited concerning the recreation proper now, particularly in a market already full of various takes on extraction shooters.
