A journey inspired by our studio’s storied history and at the same time facing the future with fervor.” says Marathon General Manager Scott Taylor. “We’re taking all the lessons we’ve learned from more than 30 years of creating amazing worlds and innovative PvP experiences and incorporating them into a game that looks, sounds and plays like something Bungie has never made before.”
