It's official: Bungie is returning to one of its oldest sci-fi properties with Marathon, a resurrection of its classic FPS franchise that predates both Halo and Destiny. Most believed that we'd never see a new entry in the series, but 27 years after the third game in the Marathon Trilogy released, Bungie has taken the gaming community by surprise with this announcement.
While it'll be a long time before the new Marathon is in our hands, there's a surprising amount of information on it available thanks to some Bungie press releases and a ViDoc presentation. Even though there are plenty of specific details we don't know yet, these resources have painted a clear picture of the game's core concepts, gameplay design philosophies, approach to storytelling, and more.
