Bungie is gearing up to unveil gameplay footage from their upcoming project, Marathon, this weekend. This marks their first venture outside of the Destiny universe in quite some time. One of the key points that has been revealed about Marathon is that it will be a multi-platform extraction shooter that does not require players on PC and Xbox to log in with a PlayStation account. This decision was confirmed by the Marathon team on their official Discord server, reassuring players who were concerned about potential restrictions due to PSN not being available in their country.
This news is particularly noteworthy in light of a previous incident involving Helldivers 2. This Sony-published game initially required players on PC to connect to a PSN account, causing issues for players in countries where PSN was not accessible. Although this requirement was eventually removed due to backlash, it did damage the game’s reputation. Sony later revised their approach for many of their single-player games on PC, offering incentives for players to link their Steam account to PSN.
As for Marathon, details have been scarce since its initial announcement. However, popular streamer DrLupo has been playtesting the game for the past six years and has noted improvements with each iteration. The upcoming gameplay showcase promises to shed more light on what Marathon has to offer, giving fans a closer look at the game’s features and mechanics.
It will be interesting to see how Bungie’s new project will be received by the gaming community, especially considering the studio’s success with the Destiny franchise. Stay tuned for more updates on Marathon as the development progresses.
