"Former Valorant game director Joe Ziegler is replacing Christopher Barrett.

While this is going on, sources tell IGN that Bungie is pouring resources into getting Marathon out the door. The game's direction has shifted somewhat under Ziegler's new leadership, one source says, including moving away from custom player characters in favor of a selectable cast of heroes."

2026 release most likely and it'll cost money? this game is DOA lmao Bungie bros are literally braindead

extraction shooter with a "cast of heroes"

AHAHAHA

Pls ditch the extraction aspect and just make another classic FPS pvp experience bungie

extraction shooters are so boring

tarkov for example niggas are just hiding in bushes like its real war shoot you in the back take all your s*** now you have nothing

TRASHHHH

halo 1, 2 and 3 are great but reach was ass
and so is destiny 1 and 2's pvp modes

i'm afraid bungie bros gotta hang it up

Destiny has a loyal following lol I never liked it personally but its ability to last as long as it has speaks volumes to me they potentially have another long lasting FPS in them

it’s funny cause destiny is ACTUALLY on its last leg if this next expansion is ass.

Even pre orders are down

People have been losing faith for a while

I’m hip I got friends who play lol but that’s why it’s no better time than now to drop the next big thing

well, bungie being bought by sony to make them games that bring in big live service bucks is a big red flag, the sooner Marathon drops the worse

The art direction for this is phenomenal; I hope the gameplay lives up to it
I’ve never played an extraction shooter though
THE FINALS is currently the king of FPS. We need a new face to dethrone it

FPS genre been so dead for a while now.

They're just shoehorning in hero characters? Ew

yeah sounds like a terrible change

Random question but if they never sold the rights to Microsoft would they have made Halo a multi platform game?

Say what now

Heroes? Dropped.

was cool but small team sizes and nature of the game encourages more competitiveness than I'm usually down for.

Fair
I avoid the ranked game modes because of how sweaty matches can get
‘Bank It’ mode feels like the closest to deathmatch. If you’ve got a rock-solid squad, matches can feel like a breeze (like playing COD deathmatch while listening to music or a podcast). It’s a terrific game
