Marathon, Bungie's upcoming revival of the 1994 FPS, seemed like it could disappear after serious layoffs plagued its developer. But, despite the sci-fi extraction shooter's Twitter laying dormant for 18 months, director Joe Ziegler assures fans in a new video that Marathon is alive and well.

"In 2025, we're going to be expanding our playtests a little bit wider and wider," he says. "We'll definitely let you know when that happens."
