Upcoming Bungie shooter Marathon has played host to its fair share of controversies, facing indefinite delays and an increasingly wary community – but it's still underway nonetheless, and it's set to make an appearance during tonight's PlayStation State of Play.
Marathon has had quite the history so far, between its stolen art debacle and the endless sea of release date questions – but it seems Bungie's luck has been turning, with reports from Sony that it's "very confident" in the shooter after playtests revealed "good points" and some that needed fixing, too.
On top of that, fans themselves will finally get a fresh taste of the game as developers have announced it's coming to today's State of Play.
The devs then address circulating rumors: "Finally, we've seen some speculation about a surprise preview weekend drop. It's not coming this weekend – we'll let you know the dates in advance so you have some more time to plan around them."
Although there are no dates yet, I get the feeling we might hear them during tonight's State of Play showcase. I could be wrong, of course, but the Discord announcement has me leaning that direction.
Unsurprisingly, fans have been letting their wildest theories run free on the server following Bungie's message. "Imagine they just unlock the playtest after the State of Play," one speculates. Another writes, "We're getting a new trailer at State of Play."
Others state they're simply just "wondering" what the devs will reveal later today – and honestly, so am I. Here's hoping it's one heck of a good showcase, regardless.
