~~Concord 2~~ Marathon releases in March 2026 Anonymous 12/15/2025 (Mon) 23:47:28 Id: c6d000 No. 2020726
Marathon releases March 2026, targeting a price of $39.99/€39.99/£34.99. >Purchasing Marathon will give you full access to the game, including a roadmap of free gameplay updates as the year progresses. This will include new maps, new Runner shells, events, and more, starting with the exploration of UESC Marathon's Cryo Archive in Season 1. >We also want to ensure you are logging in because you love the game, not from fear of missing out—so Marathon's Rewards Passes will not expire, and you’ll be able purchase and unlock prior Passes. >Finally, and most importantly, we believe in preserving competitive integrity in Marathon, so survival will never come down to how much money you spend. Is anyone outside of reddit actually looking forward to this game? The artstyle is a giant corpo mess and this is the same "Bunige" that fucked up Destiny 2. If you haven't seen the GDC talk, they don't give a shit about the consumer or gameplay experience, just how much they can nickle and dime you for as fast as possible. Still, anything's possible in this clusterfuck of an industry, so maybe normalfags will hop in this game like they did with Ark Raiders. I'll be honest, I hope it bombs, so the industry can get its shit together. Here's the ViDoc for those potentially interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjzmhROTv28
I'm interested in it's failure How many live service trashfire failures can we get until every single one of these companies burns down?
>>2020731 Who can say?
>>2020726 Nah, it's Concord 3, Concord 2 is Highguard releasing in January.
>>2020747 >January Goddamn, DOA
>>2020754 Yeah, they were expecting a ton of hype and praise based off the Titanfall name alone. Whoever was marketing the game is retarded.
>>2020759 I expected an April release while they slowly gave out info to their demographic of retards and slowly hype them up. But no, this is going to fumble ao fucking hard.
As much as people really want to dunk on this game and its failure, I'm not sure if Sony really wants to set this game out to pasture and kill it off. I think they're going to pump a lot of money into marketing this game and that might give it enough of an audience to support it until at least year 2. How long do you guys think it will last? If it makes it past 12 months of say 40k+ players, will that be enough to keep it alive?
>>2020806 Yeah, I think it has about a year with its initial month of hype and then killing it off around the 12 month mark.
>>2020806 It might live for a awhile, Destiny faggots and Bungie drones are completely mentally retarded.
>>2020806 Any chance of doing that vanished with the plagiarism scandal. Only remotely possible way to get out of that hole would have been to immediately take money they would have spent advertising, going to the artist that was blatantly stolen from, and offering to match everything the plagiarist was ever paid then going after the plagiarist for damages. Now it's too late, especially with the fake quote from the victim.
>>2020844 >Now it's too late, especially with the fake quote from the victim. Wait I missed that part, what happened?
>>2020747 It's in a weird place because this was announced first, so people were calling it Concord 2 earlier, but it's releasing after ``Overwatch`` Highguard so I guess it gets 3 because of that.
>>2020994 I mean It could still just not fail, unlikely but tards gonna tard and it's F2P so you just never know, Marathon though I think is pretty much guaranteed toast at this point.
>>2020806 Prediction: It'll get skeleton crew'd within six months, then shut down less than a year after. They're desperate for ROI on one of these live service bombs, they'll do anything to prevent this from being "Concord 2(.5?)" but normalfag fatigue from all the live service bullshit plus the backlash from the scandal means they won't pull in enough for long term stability.

>>2021050 Agreed. Only Fortnite and R6:Siege were games that failed at first and only managed to gain popularity and ROI after a year or two after release, but the current market can't support that anymore. The market is oversaturated with hero shooters now and nobody wants to make the financial or time investment in some new title which doesn't truly do anything different from the rest. I will admit I was shocked that Gaypex Legends did as well as it did considering how soulless, uninspired, and bland it looked/played. But I severely doubt the same devs will be able to catch lightning in a bottle twice.
The art director left Bungie, seemingly of his own volition. https://archive.ph/Io2WL
>>2030820 What an impressively scaped goat.

>>2020726 As an old macfag, I highly recommend the original Marathon trilogy, and pretending Bungie closed doors after releasing Oni. https://alephone.lhowon.org/ https://store.steampowered.com/search?term=Classic+Marathon

>>2030820 >spent 3.7 billion for Destiny on its deathbed and a dead on arrival plagiarist shitpile

>>2031164 Remember when a single $40M flop was enough to sink a major film studio? Nowadays everything is reckless billion dollar gambles - movies, games, the whole AI thing. The world has gone insane.
>>2031604 Even after inflation, Spirits WIthin was still "only" a quarter billion.
>>2031620 It really was not as bad as people say. But it was absolutely not what any FF player would expect: no fantasy, magic, castles, dirigibles, fuckin espers and chocobos.
>>2031604 Funny thing is that all these companies pretend like they can't take a risk while making these "guarenteed success" gambles while half their executives embezzle investement funds. How many live service failures have we seen so far? Ours is totally going to be the next Fortnite though! It's totally worth the gamble!
>>2030820 What did they do about the stolen art ? Change it ? Compensate the original artist ? Strange how this isn't the first thing to be said about the game, like people forgot Bungie was plagiarizing.
I was in the NDA Closed Beta Test. I didn't care for it. The gameplay loop isn't very good. The corporations are all style and no substance. This could be fixed in a full release. There wasn't a reason to want to find out more about them. Playing with groups suck because if you have goals that are not the same your party goal. God help you if nobody knows where the locations you are supposed to go are I had to play solo to figure shit out as nobody else had a fucking mic Playing solo was OK but only as the stealth class as you can just sneak around and avoid other players.
>>2033653 >if you have goals that are not the same your party goal then you will not be able to complete your goal
It's only me or the whole game look like a Destiny raid?
>>2033822 A bad one at that.
>>2033411 They reached a settlement so yeah, the tranny got paid a hefty amount.
