Marathon Vs Arc Raiders Isn't What You Think...

Is Bungie's Marathon going to kill Arc Raiders? I’ve been thinking a lot about the recent developer insights, and I’ve come to a conclusion: these two extraction shooters aren't rivals—they're neighbors.

In this video, we’re breaking down the fundamental differences between Marathon and Arc Raiders. While many see them as direct competitors in the extraction shooter genre, the reality is that they are targeting two very different types of players.

We’ll discuss:

Arc Raiders’ PVE Focus: Why the scavenging and machine-hunting loop in Speranza appeals to a more casual, adventure-driven audience.

Marathon’s PVP DNA: How Bungie is leaning into high-stakes, ability-driven combat that caters to the competitive shooter community.

The Overlap: Where the "Extraction Shooter Enthusiast" fits into both worlds and why the player bases won't actually cannibalize each other.

Bungie's Secret Weapon: Rumors of raid-like events and the rich lore of Tau Ceti that might even draw the PVE crowd into Marathon.

Ultimately, the "Extraction War" is a win for us as consumers. Whether you prefer the gritty PVE extraction of Arc Raiders or the high-octane PVP builds of Marathon, the genre is finally evolving.

Are you a "Raider" or a "Runner"? Or are you like me and planning to dive into both? Let’s keep the conversation civil—let me know your thoughts in the comments!

MARATHON

From the creators of Halo and Destiny
Scavenge the lost colony of Tau Ceti IV in Bungie’s team-based FPS extraction shooter. Choose your Runner and work together in crews of three as you battle rival teams and hostile security forces for weapons and upgrades. Survive and your loot is yours to keep for future runs on Tau Ceti—or if you’re brave enough, a journey to the derelict Marathon ship that hangs above.



Become a Runner
Choose from a roster of cybernetic mercenaries with unique abilities. Customize your playstyle with the weapons, implants, and equipment you collect on your runs. Every match is a chance to experiment, buildcraft, and come back stronger.



Welcome to Tau Ceti IV
What once was a thriving colony is now a battleground for rival factions competing for power and fortune, hiring Runners to track down weapons, valuables, and the edge they need to win.



Fun and competitive at all skill levels
Bungie’s best-in-class first person gunplay makes playing at every skill level satisfying. With multiple maps to choose from, you can sharpen your skills in starter areas, then challenge yourself in high-stakes zones and Ranked mode in season one.



Committed to fair play
Cheaters don’t stop, so neither do we. We’ll continue to invest in robust anti-cheat and dedicated server support to keep your games competitive.
