A return to an old IP<\/h2>\n

Bungie’s Marathon\u00a0<\/em>will be a grand return to an age-old IP from the developer. Before Halo\u00a0<\/em>took over the world,\u00a0Marathon\u00a0<\/em>was a ’90s sci-fi adventure that felt like a callback to Doom<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Wolfenstein. <\/em>The franchise is returning to PlayStation systems as a PvP extraction shooter in an evolving environment. But what platforms is it hitting?<\/p>\n

Is a Marathon<\/em> port coming to Xbox?<\/h2>\n

Despite showing up at the May 2023 PlayStation Showcase stream and the more important fact that Bungie being owned by Sony<\/a>;\u00a0there will be a Marathon <\/em>Xbox and PC port<\/strong>. This is confirmed on the official website<\/a> for the game, and it will be cross-play and cross-save compatible (you can play with any of your friends, no matter the system they have). The neat thing is that you can also transfer your progress from a PS5 to an Xbox Series X if you want to.<\/p>\n

It’s strange that PlayStation is allowing Marathon<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>to release on a rival console, but Bungie has reassured fans in the past that Destiny 2<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>content will not be changing. “Bungie retains full creative independence for our games and our community,” said the developer in a Q&A<\/a>. “Our plans for the Light and Dark Saga are unchanged, all the way through The Final Shape in 2024.”\u00a0Marathon\u00a0<\/em>coming to Xbox and PC is a sign that this commitment to Xbox and PC players remains unchanged.<\/p>\n

How does Marathon<\/em> play?<\/h2>\n

No\u00a0Marathon <\/em>gameplay has been shown as of the time of writing. However, we do know we’ll “compete for survival, riches, and renown in a world of evolving, persistent zones, where any run can lead to greatness,” according to Bungie’s official website<\/a>. It’s agonizing to get only a CG announcement trailer, but hopefully, we’ll get new information soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
