Bungie announced the indefinite delay of its game Marathon, originally set for a September 23 release, to better align the product with player feedback. This decision was prompted by mixed reactions to the recent alpha test, which revealed the need for enhancements in gameplay elements, narrative depth, and player experience. While the studio addressed several gameplay issues, it strategically omitted mention of recent plagiarism allegations regarding artwork, which have drawn public scrutiny. The development team aims to enrich the game's survival mechanics, AI encounters, and social experiences to create a more engaging product.
We've taken this to heart, and we know we need more time to craft Marathon into the game that truly reflects your passion.
Player reactions were very mixed... The Alpha test created an opportunity for us to calibrate and focus the game on what will make it uniquely compelling.
