Speaking about the upcoming relaunch of the Marathon shooter, players are looking forward to new details of the gameplay, and one of the interesting features may be proximity chat, which allows you to communicate with opponents, which is inherent in games in the extraction shooter genre. Game director Joe Ziegler recently shared an update on this feature, noting that the team is still working on how it will be implemented in the game.
In the community of the upcoming Marathon relaunch by Bungie, one of the hottest topics for discussion was the so-called "mouse magnetism" - a feature that actually provided aiming assistance to players using a mouse and keyboard. It seems that the developers have heard their fans, and next week, as part of the closed alpha testing, they will conduct an experiment by disabling this controversial option.
Players who are interested in the upcoming relaunch of Bungie's shooter Marathon should get ready for a team game. Game director Joe Ziegler has officially reiterated that the game will not have a separate solo mode at launch.
Yes, this is not a flashback from the 90s - the legendary shooter Marathon is back. Bungie has officially launched closed alpha testing of its new project, and if you thought it would be another Destiny clone, think again. It is not about space magic, but about survival, sweat, and pixelated blood on iron walls.
Even before the official start of the alpha testing of the shooter Marathon, which began today, 23 April, some lucky people got early access to the game. And not only did they play, but they even managed to show the gameplay to the general public. However, the watchful eye of Bungie quickly noticed the broadcasts and promptly shut down the servers.
Even before the start of the closed alpha testing of the shooter Marathon, the first impressions of the game have already appeared thanks to the content creators. The well-known streamer DrLupo, who had the opportunity to take part in Bungie's test sessions, shared the results of the game's performance.
To coincide with the launch of the closed alpha test of the ambitious shooter Marathon, which will begin on 23 April, Bungie has officially presented an intriguing introductory cinematic. This short video introduces viewers to the mysterious Runners, their mission on the planet Tau Ceit IV, and reveals some key elements of the upcoming game.
After the high-profile announcement of Bungie's Marathon, one of the most discussed moments was the confirmation that the game will not be free to play. Although the developers do not call it a full-fledged AAA title in terms of price, they promise to reveal more information only this summer. However, insider sources cited by Paul Tassi from Forbes claim that the game will cost USD 40.
Even before the alpha testing of its upcoming shooter Marathon started, Bungie studio made an unexpected move - it cancelled the non-disclosure agreement (NDA), allowing participants to freely share game details and gameplay footage. Sources cited by Forbes' Paul Tassi offer several possible reasons for this decision.
After the first gameplay footage of the upcoming shooter Marathon was shown, players had concerns about the visual style of the game. Some users noted the excessive "matte" image, which also looks pale at times. However, the franchise's art director was quick to reassure the community, emphasising the early stage of the project's development.
The stream will take place in early May
At the moment, Bungie has not officially commented on the incident with the disappearance of the trailer, so we can only guess what really happened.
Joe Ziegler, the director of the upcoming extraction-shooter Marathon, is confident that the genre has a huge potential for growth, largely due to the incredible success of sandboxes and battle royale games.
Currently, the gaming industry is actively discussing Bungie's upcoming shooter Marathon. The extraction shooter will be fully released on 23 September 2025 and it will be the first new game in a long time by the studio that gave us Halo and Destiny. And now it has become known how much time was spent on development.
After the long-awaited gameplay demonstration of Marathon, the new extraction shooter by Bungie, along with general enthusiasm, many players were quick to draw unfortunate parallels with the recent failure of Concord. The former Concord developer responded to this reaction by calling on the Reddit community to give the new game a chance and, just as importantly, to show empathy for the people working on it.
