Marathon looks pretty groovy, but it's got one big problem and it goes by the name of Arc Raiders. Embark's narrative-driven sci-fi extraction shooter is really good, and really popular, and it stole Marathon's thunder in a big way—to the point that it influenced some of the design changes Bungie made to the game in its big rework last year. It's kind of amusing then, that players in the weekend-long server slam playtest that kicked off today discovered that the phrase "Arc Raiders" was being censored in the game's text chat.
I first ran across the issue in this Twitch clip posted by Lirik, which shows that both "Arc Raiders" and "Raiders" are replaced by the # sign when typed into the text chat box, even when the characters are widely spaced out. Other game names, including Highguard, Destiny, Call of Duty, and Escape From Tarkov, appear normally.
