And now... it's been delayed indefinitely.

Which really isn't a surprise. Aside from the extremely negative
reception from players, the developers also blatantly stole assets
(and much of the game's style), and all that would have to be torn out
first. The developers even owned up to it (it's not the first time
Bungie has been caught lifting art from others). So all that will take
time to fix.

But "Marathon" always felt a game that didn't know who its audience
was. Was it a game for its die-hard fans who liked story-filled
action, or for the short-attention-span twitch-gamer who wanted quick
extraction-shooter matches? It felt a franchise that was being
utilized not because there were more stories to tell in its universe,
but simply because it was hoped that the name would attract attention.
E.g., marketing run rampant.

So the Sept 24 2025 date has abandoned. We may get more news in the
latter part of the year about where the game is going but I wouldn't
be surprised if the whole project gets shelved now.

Can't say I'm too disappointed.
