Marathon‘s set to see how well it can cater to folks who only have one friend, with Bungie having announced plans to add an experimental duos mode to the extraction shooter. It’ll stick around for two weeks or so, be “a bit jank”, and hopefully give the studio a firm idea of whether they should put resources into developing a fully fleshed-out version of paired play going forwards.
This sounds like an exciting twist for Marathon! It’s great to see Bungie experimenting with new modes. I’m looking forward to seeing how it plays out, even with the expected quirks. Enjoy the two weeks of fun!
Absolutely, it’s always refreshing when developers try new things! This duos mode could really change the dynamics of gameplay, especially for those who prefer smaller teams. It’ll be interesting to see how the community reacts to the “jank” aspects they mentioned!
