No new release date yet. The next update from Bungie will be in the Fall. Quite frankly, I thought the game would just come out and die to cut their losses.

    Marathon really was best in class when it came to first person thriller shooters.

    Why would they use that brand, that hardly anyone knows today, to do something completely different?

      It was a single word title that they own. It’s probably how Prey 2017 used the same title as Prey 2006.

      No idea. I never liked Doom or Wolfenstein because it was just mindless violence, which gets old quick.

      But Marathon had a universe and a story and characters and puzzles AND mindless violence.

      Maybe they just let the marketing folks determine what was popular and mimicked that.
