Rumors have circulated for some time regarding the Halo franchise’s potential foray into the battle royale genre. Initially speculated to be a standalone title or a mode within a broader game, such ideas have often been met with skepticism. As first reported by Wccftech, recent developments indicate that Halo Studios, now officially 343 Industries, has pivoted away from the battle royale concept and is instead focusing on an extraction shooter format.
Sources indicate that Epic Games is gearing up to release a new extraction shooter featuring beloved Disney characters, potentially launching in November 2026. This information was first reported by Wccftech, which cites a recent Bloomberg article revealing details about the project.
In a swift response to player feedback, Bungie has adjusted the schedules for two major events in Marathon, its latest extraction shooter. Originally, the Ranked queue and the Cryo Archive raid were set to occur simultaneously over weekends, forcing players to choose between competing in ranked matches or diving into the endgame raid. This scheduling conflict has now been resolved, allowing players to enjoy both experiences without compromise.
Bungie’s long-awaited shooter, Marathon, is making waves in the gaming landscape, shattering expectations and redefining the studio’s identity post-Halo. As first reported by Push Square, early reviews highlight the game’s evolution from a promising start to an immersive experience that deepens with time.
Bungie has just unveiled the details for Marathon’s first raid, Cryo Archive, slated to go live on March 20 and available exclusively on weekends. As first reported by IGN, this latest addition promises to elevate the extraction shooter experience with mechanics reminiscent of Bungie’s iconic Destiny raids, blending puzzle-solving with intense combat.
Bungie’s latest title, Marathon, has officially launched, inviting players to step into its thrilling extraction shooter universe set on the alien landscape of Tau Ceti IV. As first reported by Wccftech, newcomers and veterans alike will want to familiarize themselves with the game’s unique mechanics and strategies to carve out a successful path in this competitive environment.
Bungie is finally ready to unveil its long-anticipated extraction shooter, Marathon, which has faced numerous hurdles on its journey to release. As first reported by Wccftech, the game represents a reboot of a classic series that has been dormant for decades, and it’s aiming to reinvigorate the genre by combining player versus player and player versus environment mechanics.
