Bungie has announced the delay of their upcoming extraction shooter, Marathon, with no new release date provided.
The decision to delay was made after considering player feedback received through social media and Discord.
The delay aims to allow more time to craft Marathon into a game that reflects players' passion and expectations.
Focus areas for improvement include enhancing the survival game elements, doubling down on the Marathon Universe with visual fidelity and storytelling, and adding more social experiences.
Bungie plans to share progress and the new release date later in the Fall and appreciates players' patience and feedback.
The delay impacts both Bungie and PlayStation as they aim to avoid another underperforming live service title.
