Bungie person released a trailer for a trailer for extraction shooter Marathon. Last week the workplace teased the anticipation of an announcement with immoderate cryptic tweets. The alien codification was garbled but the connection was clear: immoderate important quality astir the upcoming FPS would apt beryllium shared soon. We've inactive not heard that news, really. But present we astatine slightest cognize erstwhile it's coming, acknowledgment to the teasey video of an off-screen gunfight featuring a pinkish cyborg cat. It is simply a ocular missive for impatient fans: beryllium down and hold until this weekend.

A much thorough "gameplay reveal" volition hap connected Sat April 12th, astatine 6pm BST (that's 10am PDT for US folk), according to the substance splashed on-screen astatine the extremity of this abbreviated video.

No thought what the feline is each about. Is this a cyber-critter who follows you astir in-battle looking for scraps, oregon is it conscionable a cute selling mascot to gain casual emotion from carnal lovers? Will you beryllium capable to favored this cat, oregon bash you usage it arsenic a grenade? We'll cognize much this Saturday.

Bungie person been comparatively quiescent astir Marathon since its uncover successful 2023. We cognize it's an extraction shooter with a PvP focus, and that it'll beryllium acceptable successful the aforesaid beingness arsenic the Marathon games of the 1990s. But it's not a nonstop sequel oregon remake successful the accepted sense. Fights volition instrumentality spot connected the satellite of Tau Ceti IV, and judging by the glitchy aesthetic, the rampant AI nemeses of the originals volition doubtlessly travel into play somehow. If you're profoundly funny astir the lore and background, the archetypal Marathon Trilogy is escaped connected Steam.

The improvement of nu-Marathon has been troubled. Director Joe Ziegler reassured fans past October that enactment connected the crippled was ongoing, contempt wide layoffs astatine the workplace and the ousting of the game's erstwhile director, Christopher Barrett, for allegations of misconduct (a determination Barrett has sued Sony over). Bungie undoubtedly person stacks of faithful fans for whom Destiny 2 has offered years of shooty distraction, but they're present facing a overmuch much difficult-to-crack unrecorded work environment, and a steadfast that has nary qualms eating their young. In different words, the unit is connected for Marathon to beryllium thing much absorbing than conscionable different extraction shooter.
