Bungie Considers Adding Gundam-Like Mechs to Marathon

Bungie may be planning to pit players against a colossal, Gundam-inspired mech in its upcoming title, Marathon. A glimpse of an internal Miro board, shared in a developer insight video detailing the game's evolving design, showcased concept art for a formidable enemy labeled "UESC Mecha (BOSS)." This colossal foe appears to be equipped with weaponry reminiscent of the "Deep Striker" variant of the MSA-0011 S Gundam from the Mobile Suit Gundam universe. The inclusion of such a massive, powerful enemy suggests a significant escalation in the challenges awaiting players, referred to as "runners," in the evolving landscape of Marathon's gameplay. The developer's recent pivot away from a strict extraction-focused experience hints at a broader range of combat scenarios and enemy types being explored.
