The Marathon reveal cinematic short is super cool



(Written and Directed by Alberto Mielgo) (Here's one longish review of the current state of the game) (And another ["Will the extraction shooter genre, which feels inherently designed to generate as much stress as it does happiness, ever be mainstream enough to support the kind of success Bungie and Sony need to fund a game with the high production values Marathon has?"])

Marathon art and fan art

(ARGs have somehow managed to become even less accessible)








(I tried Apple's AI image editing tool for the first time to remove the text on this image from the end of the trailer--it's inept bordering on fraudulent advertising)

The director of Bungie's upcoming game Marathon was replaced

It was the most stylish video game teaser I'd seen in forever, but it instantly seemed a bad sign that they took the time to create an ARG with essentially zero payoff and no hint of when there would be an update on progress.

IGN: 

According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, Bungie is in the midst of shifting around its creative leadership on Marathon, including removing long-time Bungie designer Christopher Barrett from the game director role

...

Within the company, there is a growing expectation that senior company leadership will leave in droves in the summer of 2026 when the final payouts from Sony's acquisition of the company take effect. With this in mind, there is a strong push to get Marathon out the door before then, and let whoever takes the reins after that (be it Sony or Bungie) worry about how it's sustained.

The biodesigner whose work inspired Bungie's reimagined Marathon



From a 2022 interview:
Biodesigned.
What are three questions every biodesigner must consider?

Neri.
What is life? Artificial wombs and embryos made from skin cells are already revolutionizing reproductive biology. CRISPR-Cas9 genome-editing technology can be programmed to target specific stretches of genetic code and edit them at precise locations. Gene drives may soon provide an effective means of accelerating the inheritance of genetic modifications through specific wild populations or entire species. With these systems in place, we can permanently modify genes in living cells and organisms to treat genetic causes of disease, while also controlling genetic expression. From here, creating or permanently altering life is all too real.
Responding to unsustainable construction practices that contribute to waste, Oxman and The Mediated Matter Group developed fabrication methods that are attuned to natural conditions and lifecycles. Almost sixteen feet tall, the Aguahoja pavilions are 3D printed structures that use 5,740 fallen leaves, 6,500 apple skins, and 3,135 shrimp shells as building materials that decay naturally, thereby enriching its environment rather than poisoning it.
The Instagram gallery looks like an ARG for a Ridley Scott movie:

Joseph Cross. (I loved every frame of the trailer, and the ARG sites are intriguing.)
