Bungie, the renowned developer behind the popular live-service title Destiny 2, has publicly committed to a significantly different strategy regarding game content for its upcoming sci-fi shooter, Marathon. Learning valuable lessons from the controversial practice of “vaulting” content in Destiny 2, the studio aims to ensure a more inclusive and persistent experience for Marathon players.
A key promise from Bungie is that “it doesn’t matter when you join” – all players, regardless of their start date, will have complete access to the game’s evolving narrative and content, preventing new or returning players from missing out on past events or story arcs. This new philosophy signals a commitment to accessibility and a cohesive player journey for the Marathon community, moving away from the past methods that saw significant portions of Destiny 2’s content removed from the game.
