The Casual Runner. 🦾

Switched from DE to EN to bring Marathon Lore to the global stage. Lore for people with limited time. ⏳

[Simply Taito @SimplyTaito]

After years in the German community, I’m taking my journey global. 🌍

My mission: Uncovering the deep lore of @MarathonTheGame for the casual runner. If you have a busy life but a high curiosity for @Bungie’s worlds—this is for me and you.

@colonel_sus Die Leute haben leider immer weniger Masse zwischen den Ohren um selbst nachzudenken

[Simply Taito @SimplyTaito]

Stop blindly echoing every take and start using your own brain—blindly following haters is peak sheep behavior.

Streamer TheBurntPeanut says he enjoyed playing Marathon early on stream, despite a lot of his chat vocally being against it

“I actually enjoyed it ... I know you're going to say, 'Oh it's an ad', I had a good time, f#*k you”

[Simply Taito @SimplyTaito]

@Dexerto Gotta hand it to Bungie's PR team: Bringing a long-time vocal critic like TheBurntPeanut into the inner circle is a masterclass in 'Keep your enemies closer.' It shows they're confident enough in the current Marathon build to let a former hater stress-test it live with Joe

@80sGamerAndSon Ich gebe dir grundsätzlich recht.
Das liegt aber unter anderem auch daran, dass Sony nicht DirectX als API nutzt. Es ist einfacher das DirectX auf Sony anzupassen, als umgekehrt. Das Spiel würde dadurch vermutlich deutlich teurer werden auf MS

Called dead last year, but 2026 has been a different story. @Bungie 's fantastic work on #marathonthegame has brought a massive boost to my German niche community. So hyped for what's next! 🚀
How is the Marathon hype holding up in your region? Let me know!

@Riftwalkergame @LuclinFTW I know it might be a bit early to ask, but are you planning a PlayStation release? That’s my platform of choice and I’d love to dive in there!

[Simply Taito @SimplyTaito]

Exactly, the lore is their biggest asset. People have been obsessed with the Marathon universe since the 90s and have kept the story archives alive for decades. If Bungie leans into that deep narrative heritage, they could create something truly unparalleled in the genre.

I think Marathon is going to put itself in a really unique position with the emphasis on lore and story in an extraction shooter, on top of excellent gunplay and PvP. I don’t know what the future holds but Marathon has a real good chance of being something truly special

What in the 'Fallout meets ARC Raiders meets Outriders' is going on here?

[Jake Lucky @JakeSucky]

These indie devs have spent 5 years on this FPS MMO where you must survive the post apocalyptic infestation with both PvE and PvP

[Simply Taito @SimplyTaito]

0 for 20 here too. I wonder if there’s even a single playtester outside the US right now. Seems very US-centric so far. or maybe it's just germany that's excluded lol

[Craig @CoolRunnerCraig]

wait, a January closed playtest?!

I’m out here shooting 0 for 20 on playtest invites 😭

[Simply Taito @SimplyTaito]

If we're judging value like that, I need a refund for the last few Black Ops. $40 for a polished Bungie game seems like a steal compared to the yearly $70 'copy-paste' titles.

[juzu @JuzuLive]

competing in extraction shooter market is very tough considering there's such bangers like EFT & ARC Raiders but Marathon to me doesn't look like a game that worth 40$ but 20$ instead? I'm afraid the 40$ paywall will play a significant role on Marathon success

from this clip, the world looks beautiful but guns.. oh my, I can't be the only one who just doesn't fw the gun design, I'm curious to see how Marathon is going be on release, as a non-extraction shooter fan, I hope those who's tired of EFT & ARC Raiders can main this game instead

In this video, I’m breaking down:
✅ Why the "Rook" Shell is the MVP for Casuals
✅ The persistence of progress
✅ Why visual clarity wins over spreadsheets

IT’S LIVE! 🚨

As a dad with a full-time job, I don't have 40 hours a week to grind. I asked: Is Marathon actually worth our limited time?

Prediction: The "Rook" Shell will be the MVP for casuals. 🛡️

In a world of "Assassin" sweats, survival is the only stat that matters for a successful extract. High stability, lower risk.

Thoughts on the Shell system? 🐚

Rook may be a prototype shell, but that doesn't make a bullet in the back any less lethal. Be careful who you trust -- Rook is no Pawn ♟️
