Bungie is king of the videogame ARG, and Marathon's getting the works.
The announcement of a new Marathon by Bungie is one of those moments you can't quite believe. I've been a Bungie fan for a long time and in the early 2000s in particular was a frequenter of the studio's homepage, always an amazing place and at the time the motherlode for everything Halo. As well as the humour, and the constant ARGs / teases , there was an occasional running gag about Marathon coming back or being the studio's next project: Because it just seemed so unlikely.
The first fruits of fan investigation are a behind-the-scenes documentary where Bungie staff discuss the high-level concepts for the game and show off a lot of the superb artwork. The studio is clearly proud of the Marathon aesthetic and it should be: this game looks like the absolute business. Another tidbit from the behind-the-scenes video is that Marathon is currently in alpha and the team is now going to hunker-down until the next big announce, which will feature gameplay, but on release it will have cross-play and cross-progression across all platforms.
