I give this game one more month and it's officially dead. 2k player count less than a month after release? It's not looking good. #Marathon#Concord2#MarathonGame
@CDNThe3rd@EmbarkStudios A welcome change for everyone. There is no negative to introducing this. The problem is that they would have to remove the trader purchase limitations in the game before they implement a preset custom loadout feature.
‼️NEW: Marathon will NOT have Aggression-based matchmaking like ARC Raiders.
"We don't have special matchmaking rules to separate 'non-combat-oriented players,' but we will provide tools like proximity chat so those players can meet and communicate in-game.
"In Marathon, the tension and suspicion of 'not being sure whether other players are hostile' is the core of the survival experience. It’s that uncertainty that drives how unpredictable each run can be." - Joe Ziegler, Game Director (machine translated)

@CDNThe3rd RIP to Ceez's DMs talking about "Hey big fan. Who made this?". Ain't nobody have a more crisp animated 3D avatar like Ceez. 2026 going to be a huge year.
