Bungie Confirms Marathon Story Plans for the Next Few Years

Creative director Julia Nardin teased the next steps for the former Halo developer's shiny new extraction shooter during an interview with GamesRadar.

Although the multiplayer reboot is just shy of two months old, she said the team is confident enough to have at least a loose idea of what direction to take its narrative in the coming years.

"We know where we want to take the story over the next few years," Nardin said, "but I don't want to say it’s completely 'locked in' because it's important to us that our players be able to help shape it."

Updates have already started to carve out the future, but Nardin said those who have yet to go on their first run have nothing to fear. This time around, she said it's important for Bungie that players can "jump into Marathon at any time."

"They'll always be able to uncover the mysteries of Tau Ceti's past while experiencing its present," Nardin added. "We want every season to be a new entry point, and for new players to be able to understand what’s going on regardless of how long we've all been running."
