Bungie urges players not to buy Marathon just to support Destiny 2
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
The future of the Destiny series does not depend on the success of the extraction shooter.
Bungie has stated that the future of Destiny 2 does not depend in any way on the commercial success of Marathon. The studio’s Head of Product, Josh Dean, specifically addressed players who decided to purchase the new shooter solely to financially support the developers and keep Destiny alive.
Destiny’s roadmap does not depend on Marathon in any way. Play what you are genuinely interested in.
He also clarified that Bungie is not asking audiences to buy one game to receive content in another. According to him, the studio must earn player support on its own:
Do not buy Marathon as a donation, and do not offer anything in return. Our job is to live up to your expectations.
The clarification was prompted by a recent address from Bungie leadership, in which the studio outlined its future plans for both franchises. Some players interpreted the developers’ statements as meaning that the further development of Destiny directly depends on whether Marathon can become a commercially successful project.
Earlier, Bungie also acknowledged that Marathon failed to attract as many players as the studio had anticipated.
The developers also confirmed that they intend to expand Marathon by introducing new opportunities for PvE, PvP, and PvPvE, as well as evolving the game into a larger-scale survival experience. In parallel, the studio intends to restore vaulted campaigns, locations, and raids in Destiny 2.
