Bungie's PvPvE extraction shooter set on Tau Ceti IV in 2893. The gunplay inherits and refines Destiny's best-in-class shooting mechanics, heavy, precise, lethal. The extraction loop creates authentic pressure.The foundation is exceptional. The superstructure needs building.

Paul: "We just ticked past a month since Marathon launched, Bungie’s high-profile extraction shooter attempting to chase hits in the genre and avoid its brutal pitfalls. A lot has happened during that time, and I thought it would be a good moment to reflect and see where we’ve landed after that initial launch window."
“ Is it April fools day again?
The game is dead.
EDIT: the numbers are fudged. “digital sales on Nintendo and Xbox weren’t included in the data”
Does it hurt you to hear a SONY game was BEST selling ?
You gotta let go of those OBCURED feelings 🤷🏿
Can't wait to see how this is spun negatively. 😜
Yeah sure, yet the player count is no where near what they want for a AAA game with so much money behind it
Why people are trying to spin this game like it’s done overly amazing is baffling to me.
It won’t even be a blip on peoples radars by the end of the year .
So........doing better than most expected, but not enough to make back what it cost.
