During the PlayStation Showcase, Bungie announced two pieces of news. Firstly, they introduced the upcoming shooter Marathon. On the other hand, they revealed the new expansion for Destiny 2.
Although Bungie is widely known as the development studio behind Destiny, the company is looking to establish itself as a multi-game studio. With an announcement of Marathon during last week”s PlayStation Showcase, they came a little closer to doing just that.
Marathon is an extraction shooter in which players take on the role of so-called runners These are cybernetic mercenaries who were created for survival on the harsh planet Tau Ceti IV . A lost colony is said to have lived on this planet, which now needs to be explored.
The runners are travelling alone or in crews of three searching for mysterious alien artifacts, valuable loot and new weapons and equipment to add to their collection.
Marathon, meanwhile, is being developed for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S with cross-save and cross-play in mind. An exact release date has therefore not yet been set.
