The rumors proved true, and now the development team, Bungie, has announced the postponement of its multiplayer action shooter, Marathon. The statement stated that the game needs more time to reflect player passion, and the team will use the additional time to enable it to deliver the experience it aspires to.
The team confirmed that it had heard the voices of players across various platforms following the alpha tests, which prompted it to make this decision after extensive discussion with its members. The team will continue to conduct closed technical tests, which will include some alpha participants. The team will use these tests to test various elements of the experience.
The team hasn’t set a new release date, but will share more updates later this year, detailing the progress they’ve made so far. The new release date will also be announced at that time.
