Seeing Marathon delayed has me saying, I think it's canceled. After the Marathon game reception was so poor they made Marathon gameplay publicly viewable with their alpha.

The big question about the latest Borderlands 4 news is whether or not it will be a live service game, we will look at the Randy Pitchford Borderlands 4 comments and see if we can figure it out.Borderlands 4 is an upcoming action role-playing first-person looter shooter video game developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K.

My Xbox Games Showcase 2025 reaction is basically entirely possible, but there were definitely some missing titles worth discussing.

Gaming news today is all about the Elden Ring Nightreign debate and why there is a split with the Elden Ring Nightreign review roundup. We also have Mindseye new details and why I still think the first Mindseye trailer was all we needed to see that something was wrong. And the latest People Can Fly layoffs sparks concern about the future of the company and projects.

Elden Ring Night Rain faces criticism despite high sales and player numbers. Launch issues plagued PC performance. Key features such as cross-play, voice communication, and a dedicated duo mode are absent, hindering the intended multiplayer focus. Reviews also cite poor rogue-like elements, repetitive gameplay, unexciting progression, and overly lengthy boss fights. Many feel it's a disappointing, shallow experience compared to the original "Elden Ring," resembling a low-effort asset flip. User scores reflect this dissatisfaction, suggesting a potential lack of long-term engagement despite initial commercial success, likely buoyed by the "Elden Ring" brand.Elden Ring Nightreign is a standalone multiplayer action RPG developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. Released on May 30, 2025, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, it's a spin-off set in an alternate past of Elden Ring's world.Players take on the role of Nightfarers in a procedurally generated region of Limgrave called Limveld. The core gameplay revolves around three-player online co-op, where teams navigate a three-day cycle to prepare for and defeat a final boss. Each day, the playable area shrinks, drawing players closer to the climactic encounter.Unlike the original Elden Ring, Nightreign focuses on session-based runs with preset characters, each possessing unique abilities and weapons. Players explore Limveld, fight enemies, gather gear, and level up within each day's timeframe. The game incorporates roguelike elements, meaning progress within a run is lost upon defeat, but players can earn permanent upgrades called Relics over time.While it can be played solo, Elden Ring Nightreign is designed for cooperative play, emphasizing teamwork and communication (though the game notably lacks in-game voice comms at launch).

If you ask me, Destiny 3 is Bungie's only path forward. With the Marathon controversy seeming to be the nail in the coffin for their extraction shooter efforts and Destiny 2 in constant decline, what else can they do?

Bungie and PlayStation's recent attempt at live service games through Marathon continues to make headlines for all the wrong reasons. It's being reported that Sony has stopped funding for all Marathon-related promotions, leaving the Bungie fan base wondering if this means a delay or even a cancellation of Marathon.

Marathon's problems continue to mount in the wake of an art theft conspiracy surrounding Marathon's Art direction. I'd like to discuss how Bungie's hubris has ultimately killed Marathon.Become a cybernetic mercenary and scavenge the lost colony of Tau Ceti IV in Bungie’s team-based extraction shooter.Choose your Runner and work together in crews of three to battle rival teams and hostile security forces for weapons and upgrades. Survive and everything you find is yours to keep as you grow stronger, fill your vault, and prepare for high-stakes challenges.Marathon is set in the mysterious and cutthroat world of Tau Ceti IV, where the derelict Marathon ship looms over the lost colony.

Gaming news today is all about seeing Helldivers 2 review bombed again, Elden Ring Nightreign steam charts versus the Elden Ring Nightreign review score, and is the Xbox handheld cancelled or just on hold?

And the Mindseye CEO conspiracy about why the Mindseye gameplay isn't being received well is certainly hilarious.

In the same lane, Doom the Dark Ages sales aren't as strong as many expected, but player numbers were strong. Lastly, the latest Nintendo Switch 2 drama is about Nintendo being able to brick or lock your console if you break their EULA.

Some are even saying that Marathon will not launch in 2025, and not just because of the Marathon art theft.Marathon is a first-person shooter video game developed and published by Bungie, and released in December 1994 for the Apple Macintosh.

Gaming news today - We have a PlayStation showcase 2025 update, after hearing we wouldn't be getting a PlayStation state of play for Summer Game Fest is seems Sony plans to do something in June.

In the wake of the Marathon Bungie controversy and likely impending delay or cancelation, I think it's time for Bungie to shift all attention and resources to Destiny 3. Up to now the only Destiny 3 leaks we have are that Bungie did not have any plans to make it. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and the Marathon game is headed for disaster, which could spell trouble for Bungie. It maybe even time to see PlayStation sunsetting Bungie and just taking over. Let's discuss!

The question facing Marathon Bungie now is, what's next? The recent Marathon stream arguably did more damage than it helped after the Marathon stolen art situation controversy grew to a fever pitch. This in addition to long list of changes and discussions about Marathon gameplay that makes it seem impossible we don't see Marathon delayed.Marathon is a first-person shooter video game developed and published by Bungie, and released in December 1994 for the Apple Macintosh.

Death Stranding 2 Previews have landed, and Death Stranding 2 is being universally praised by those invited. Death Stranding left a bit to be desired, and Death Stranding 2, from the experience of those who attended, has seemed to expand or correct on most of the issues players had. Kojima appears to have taken feedback from Death Stranding and applied it to Death Stranding 2, and coupled with many upgrades and updates, this game has some Game of the Year promise for 2025.Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is an upcoming 2025 action-adventure game developed by Kojima Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Arc Raiders Tech test 2 has come and gone, but it has everyone talking about Arc Raiders. Arc Raiders has its hook in many of the people who played it, but many are saying the thing that would absolutely get them to play Arc Raiders is a PVE mode. Seeing as Arc Raiders was originally designed to be PVE I don't think it is a stretch to believe Emark may add PVE to Arc Raiders at some point before or after the Arc Raiders Release date.ARC Raiders is a multiplayer extraction adventure, set in a lethal future Earth, ravaged by a mysterious mechanized threat known as ARC. Coming in 2025.

Marathon has been quiet, but Bungie is starting to let out details and has a gameplay reveal set this week.

We'll touch upon reports about internal pessimism and a potential rush to market. It feels less like a passion project and more like a genre Bungie wanted to try, resulting in something that feels uninspired and potentially "cooked" before arrival. I share my conclusion – echoing concerns I had even before the showcase – that Bungie might be setting Marathon up for failure.From the creators of Halo and DestinyScavenge the lost colony of Tau Ceti IV in Bungie’s team-based FPS extraction shooter.

The Last of Us is having yet another moment for PlayStation. Every time we think we might get a year without a TLOU release, Sony finds a way to give us more Last of Us for the PlaySattion. This time, it's a The Last of Us Complete Edition, which includes The Last of Us Part 1 and The Last of Us Part 2. This is clearly meant to coincide with the launch of HBO's The Last of Us Season 2 this week, but what does it mean for The Last of Us Part 3?
