Bungie's official website recently posted a job listing that suggests the upcoming online shooter Marathon will be utilizing an updated version of a previously used engine. This is not the first time Bungie has hinted at their latest project through job postings, and it has enabled fans to speculate further on what the game may entail. While details on the revival of the Marathon franchise are scarce, small clues have helped provide insight on what to expect. It has been confirmed that the game is not a direct sequel, but rather a live service shooter. Bungie's past job listings have been scrutinized by fans in search of any potential hints, and while some pieces of the puzzle have been put together, much still remains unknown. However, a recent job posting by Bungie gives a glimpse into what engine the game may use.
Bungie, the video game developer behind Destiny, is seeking a Senior Tools Engineer to enhance their Tiger Engine. Despite previous rumors of abandoning the engine, this job listing suggests otherwise. With the job posting now public on Bungie's official website, it's highly probable that the upcoming game Marathon will be utilizing Tiger Engine.
The job listing for this position clearly outlines the primary responsibility of upgrading Tiger Engine, while also mentioning that Marathon is among the games being considered for the engine upgrade. While there is relatively limited information available about Marathon, this insight into the engine being considered for the development of the game is intriguing.
For Bungie, prioritizing the improvement of the Tiger Engine is likely the best course of action for long-term success. This approach should be reassuring to fans who are interested in Marathon, as shifting away from an engine that has proven to work effectively for the studio would be a significant risk. By focusing on improving their existing system, Bungie is likely to achieve greater success in the future. As Bungie continues to capture the attention of Marathon fans, many are eager to see how the studio plans to create a fresh and engaging experience with their new game.
Marathon is currently in development for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
