Bungie announced Tuesday that it’s delaying Marathon, its new extraction shooter that had been set for a September 23rd release date. The studio isn’t providing a new release date just yet, though has promised to share it sometime this fall. And it plans to add “more social experiences,” including proximity chat and improving things for solo and duo players. “We’re using this time to empower the team to create the intense, high-stakes experience that a title like Marathon is built around,” according to the post. With this delay, we’ll see if Bungie can improve the game so that it doesn’t turn into another big live-service misstep for Sony.
