The developers of the upcoming Marathon relaunch continue to work hard on the visuals of the game, paying special attention to the lighting of outdoor spaces. Game director Joe Ziegler said that the team is actively experimenting with lighting models to achieve the desired level of quality and atmosphere.

Here's What We Know

"Especially for our outdoor locations, we are looking at additional iterations of our lighting model. We'll be reworking these visuals multiple times," said game director Joe Ziegler.

This statement shows that Bungie aims to create not only an interesting gameplay but also a visually appealing world in Marathon, as high-quality lighting can significantly affect the overall experience of the game and its atmosphere.

Many players have expressed dissatisfaction with the poor lighting, but it is clear that the authors are aware of this and we may see a slightly different Marathon at the release.

We would like to remind you that Marathon developers are still Marathon developers are still looking for the perfect solution for implementing proximity chat, but you shouldn't wait for it to be released to implement proximity chat, but you shouldn't expect it at the release.

Marathon will be released on 23 September on PC, Xbox Series, and PlayStation 5.
