Gaming Marathon Review In-Progress – 2 Games in 1, and Neither are ARC Raiders David Carcasole • at EDT Game Info MarathonMarch 5, 2026 PlatformPC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S PublisherBungie DeveloperBungie For the first time in nearly a decade, there's a new Bungie game to play. Technically, it's an old Bungie series rebooted, but for a lot of Bungie fans (myself included), Marathon was not the series that introduced me to the storied developer. Halo was, of course, my introduction to Bungie games, followed by a deep foray into the first Destiny game and a waxing and waning interest in Destiny 2, which has amounted to over 60 hours with the game across its expansions and my multiple attempts to get deep into it, each of them thwarted by all the regular reasons Destiny is nigh impenetrable to new comers or lapsed players.

I mean, how could you not? This is the studio that reinvented the shooter landscape in video games and brought about the explosion of the FPS genre on consoles. Bungie's history is integral to anyone who cares to understand the video game industry today, and if you don't respect or value that, then you've either forgotten the weight of what that felt like when Halo first launched, or you're too young to remember it.
