Well! Bungie has finally unveiled its next project, and it’s quite a surprise, whisking the developer back to its 90s roots for a revival of its classic first-person shooter series Marathon, reimagined as a PvP shooter for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
The original Marathon released in 1994 and went on to spawn two sequels, at which point Microsoft swooped in to purchase Bungie and the Halo franchise was born. Since then, Bungie has been on a quite the journey, working its way through multiple Halo sequels and two Destiny games, the latter of which have kept the studio busy for over a decade. So it’s kind of fascinating to see it cast its gaze backward for its first new project as a Sony-owned studio.
The new Marathon is described as a “sci-fi PvP extraction shooter” featuring “evolving, persistent zones” that, while not a direct sequel to the earlier games, is set in the same universe. “PvP” is the key here, too with Bungie confirming it won’t have a single-player campaign. It will, however, support cross-play and cross-save between PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
