The subsequent recreation from the makers of Future and Halo is lastly set for a full reveal this weekend after a prolonged alternate actuality recreation over the previous couple of days.
Marathon is a brand new entry in Bungie’s 1994 launch of the identical title, this time with an extraction shooter twist and a few of the freshest aesthetics in a recreation I’ve seen in a really, very very long time. And that’s sufficient to get virtually any gamer excited simply by how fairly all of it seems.
