Bungie's treating its new extraction shooter Marathon, well, like a marathon, not a sprint, as the developer apparently has a narrative plan in the works stretching years into the future.
Speaking to GamesRadar+ about how extraction shooters are bucking multiplayer trends, Marathon creative director Julia Nardin says, "We know where we want to take the story over the next few years, but I don't want to say it’s completely 'locked in' because it's important to us that our players be able to help shape it." For the studio, player input into the narrative is "part of the magic of playing a live service game."
