After months of silence, Bungie fires up the Marathon social media machine to tease… well, something

The social media channels for the reboot of Marathon have recently hinted at potential updates after a period of silence since its announcement in 2023. The game's director, Joe Ziegler, confirmed that development is ongoing, but details are still limited. The project faced challenges, including the departure of original director Christopher Barrett due to allegations of inappropriate behavior and his subsequent lawsuit against Sony and Bungie for wrongful dismissal. Concerns have been raised about the market saturation of extraction shooters and the performance of Bungie's other titles, particularly Destiny 2 and Concord.
