🔥ANNOUNCING: SOLSTICE OF LEGENDS This summer, we're celebrating what makes this community truly legendary. Join us July 28th - Aug 18th for our first seasonal event. More details soon!


Hey everyone I've got a bit of an announcement to make. Today, Friday 7/17, will be my last day at Bungie and I'll be passing the torch of Game Director to the very capable and amazing hands of Del Chafe III, who will guide the game forward alongside the Creative Director Julia Nardin. Both of them have been operating in a strong leadership capacity for the team and are ready to guide Marathon into the next chapter with an even better and brighter future. I'm proud of them and I'm excited to see them helm the future of this crazy little world we've created together. As for me, I'll be heading to something new, somewhere else, and will update you on where and what soon. I just want to say a deeply heartfelt thank you to all of you for supporting me and Marathon in our windy mission to bring a dark and terrifying space survival frontier to your screen. The mission will continue in new and surprising ways so stay tuned for what this team has in store for you! It's been a pleasure seeing all the stories you've created, all the clever ways you've found ways to murder robots and one another. Hopefully as I move onto new things, you'll join me for those adventures as well. Much love to the Marathon community and to all my friends and colleagues at Bungie. May we cross paths again. Keep it weird, keep it real <3.





Some Marathon players are organizing a community event called Marathon Revival Week, which will take place from July 21 to July 28. The idea is simple: invite a friend to try the game, help new players get started and leave a review if you’ve enjoyed the game. The community hopes these small actions will help bring more players to Marathon. The organizers say this isn’t because they think the game is “dead.” They see it as a community-driven effort to grow the player base and give the game a boost. Dont laugh

I'm kind of baffled as to where this idea that the ID Tech team has been laid off came from because the Frankfurt Studio is responsible for the engine and they haven't faced any reductions yet. This is freely available information on their website that any journo could've found.




Id was reportedly about to pitch 3 new projects. -A new 'Perfect Dark' -A Louisiana and Chicago gangsters inspired Gun Fu (John Wick like) game codenamed Fury. -A Western-style robot game dubbe Ironwood Seems like there was no 'Quake' game in the works. gamesbeat.com/inside-a-studi…








Update: 136 employees have been laid off at id Software, a large majority of the studio ➡️ gamedeveloper.com/business/repor…








Over the last few weeks, we've seen videos concerning a handful of armor set bonuses that are presenting balance issues within Crucible environments. Two in particular deal with health regeneration and rapid Super generation. While this can be fun to discover, it presents poor experiences on the receiving end; opposing teams in Trials having Supers by round 2, or consistent 1v1 engagements being determined by a set bonus triggering. While these set bonuses will continue to function in PvE modes across the game, we'd like to prevent these balance issues from impacting the Crucible moving forward, and will be disabling the following: 💠Grasp of Avarice Dungeon - 4 Piece Bonus - Overflowing Coffers 💠💠While you have stacks of Untold Greed, Orbs of Power and Elemental pickups provide more of their respective energy, and Strand Tangles deal increased damage. When your shields are broken, all stacks are converted into a fountain of Orbs of Power. 💠Duality Dungeon - 4 Piece Bonus - Bittersweet 💠💠When you stow a weapon, restore health based on the number of Built Bitter stacks lost. We will continue to monitor player reports in case more set bonuses present balance issues, and take action when needed.
