Marathon 2025 - Bungie's new AAAA Extraction shooter

[Oliver Onions]

So how long do we have before the game goes F2P?

With how fast the playercount is dropping I'll be surprised if they even bother with Season 3 in September.

S3 release is happening, S4 is the question.

I think it shuts down before it goes F2P, I dont see it happening.

You still think the game is gonna make it to 2027?

Maybe they'll hit 2027 later today when people aren't at work.... oh, wait! You're not talking about the player numbers!

there's 27,000 people playing Witcher 3 right now, at this hour.
14,000 playing Resident evil 4

I could go on, lol.

I saw a guy in a random chatroom that i lurk constantly cope and seethe about all the playercount and steamcharts niggery going around the game and how the game was actually good, people just followed what nasty nasty detractors said like cattle and that he was having a blast
He just showed his steam library by date launched
Marathon was not played since April and currently uninstalled

I think they're contractually obligated to release season 3 because they sold a battle pass for it already.

Season 4 and beyond is incredibly unlikely as player counts hit the 1.5k range and matchmaking issues occur.

I'm already seeing on reddit Oceanic and Asian players struggling to find matches and it won't be long before European and NA servers follow.

Pardon our dust.......
This week's marathon's update seems to have broken solo fill.
It also seems like rook is broken to,

If they can just pick a fucking direction to drag this corpse, then yes.

If Destiny 2's recent player numbers are any indicator, then dragging Marathon's corpse to the grave will do wonders for Bungie.

Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League made it to Season 4 before throwing in the towel and by the time it dropped in December 2024 the daily peaks were around 2,500. 2 months later (and a year since release) they were about 500.

Will Marathon match those numbers? Tune in next time to find out, blast havers!

Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League

I keep seeing people compare Marathon to that pile of shit, but I don't think its a good comparison.

Can't say why, but it just doesn't line up for me.
