[QUOTE="Admin, post: 71075, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2023/05/25/marathonthumb-1685022943759.jpg[/IMG] It looks like [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/marathon']Marathon[/URL] won’t be left behind anytime soon, as Bungie has confirmed it has plans to evolve its story over at least "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 [URL='https://www.gamesradar.com/games/fps/bungie-doesnt-see-marathon-going-anywhere-we-know-where-we-want-to-take-the-story-over-the-next-few-years/'][U]GamesRadar[/U][/URL]. 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." Bungie plopped players into the world of Tau Ceti IV when Marathon for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S March 5. Its intention to build it alongside its community for the months and, ideally, years ahead is a long-term strategy it experimented with during the development of its Destiny titles, though not everyone was in love with the idea of being dropped late into stories that were years in the making. 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."
