Bungie is bringing back Marathon as a PvP extraction shooter, and it looks as sci-fi and kinetic as you'd expect from the team that brought you Destiny 2.As a benchmark for quality in the world of high-demand service games, it makes sense that the studio would want to take things to the next level with Marathon, and it seems like the plan is to do just that.

The Insider Gaming looked further, approaching the sources again and gathering additional information. Anything can change from now until the final release of the game. It records this as a rumor, but Tom Henderson and his collaborators were spot-on in the past and will probably be again. Something that was mentioned several times, obviously, was the idea to make Marathon the “ultimate live service”. A source said that the team is aiming for single-digit loading times, from preparation to the live game on the server.

Escape from Tarkov players know that this alone would change the game. Moreover, the various Marathon maps will have hidden secrets for the community that will be obsessed with them. In fact, Tarkov is repeatedly mentioned, essentially with the same core gameplay loop in its place, which Insider describes as follows:
- Select your missions (to complete the game)
- Buy / select your loadout/privileges/abilities/equipment
- Enter a server
- Search for loot / Complete missions / Explore and find secrets
- Export
- Spend XP for updates
- Repeat it
It is also understood that three maps are under development, but whether they will be included at launch will become clear soon.
Furthermore, core Tarkov gameplay elements like Permadeath will be present, and solo players will be able to join in on the action, but will be pitted against duos and trios. There will also apparently be some sort of oxygen system in the game, further fueling the hardcore survival elements. Getting shot and breaking a container was given as an example, with other injuries (bleeding, concussion) also having adverse effects on gameplay.
