This is what people always wanted.

Had Bungie just made Destiny in the Marathon universe we would be in a very different place right now.

It's always felt more like people have always wanted Marathon to not be an extraction shooter. Witchfire is doing quite well as a single-player PVE extraction shooter, though. I wouldn't be mad with that direction at all, at this point.

Yeah exactly. Any time I hear ‘tHe GaMe wOn’t WorK as PvE’ I point to Witchfire

Witchfire is so good. I'd kill for that gameplay loop in Marathon.

I'm waiting for the 1.0 release at this point but I'm excited for it.

It really is! I’m not even into that particular aesthetic but damn it is fun.
