Destiny maker Bungie is working on Marathon, a PvP extraction shooter that was announced in 2023. The studio has now provided an update on the game, saying that development on it was “on track”. Bungie, however, did not reveal any Marathon gameplay, choosing instead to share concept art images from the shooter and provide sparse details on the development.
In a Developer Update video posted on YouTube Monday, Marathon game director Joe Ziegler broke Bungie's silence on the sci-fi extraction shooter. In the video Ziegler shared a development update on the game and said that Bungie was not quite ready to show gameplay yet. But the game director said that different aspects of development were “on track”.
“For the past couple of years, we've been doing a lot of aggressive change to the game, and we've been iterating pretty heavily. And during that time, we've been testing with a lot of players,” Ziegler said.
“Where the game is at right now, there are a variety of different things at different states inside of the game. Some things are a little bit more complete, like our environments are starting to come together in a really, really beautiful way. Some of the character models we've been iterating through, so they're coming together, but they're not fully there yet. Our enemy models are skill kind of a little bit in an early state,” he added.
The developer said that while it was a little early to show gameplay to players, development on “all of these things are on track.”
“They're not all together. But when they all do come together, we really, really are looking forward to showing you what that looks like, especially in play,” Ziegler said.
Hey everyone! We made a "little" video where I chat about what we're making on the Marathon team and what we've been up to in the dark all this time. It's not a gameplay reveal or anything, but if you're interested in hearing the latest, check it out below.
