This weekend is shaping up to be an exciting one for gamers, especially those curious about the latest developments in multiplayer experiences. Bungie recently announced that they would be opening the gates for anyone eager to try out Marathon from February 26th to March 2nd. This event, dubbed a server slam, gives players a chance to dive into the nostalgia of Bungie’s classic franchise reimagined for modern consoles.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Guerrilla Games has just unveiled its own intriguing entry into the live service arena with Horizon Hunters Gathering, which is also running a playtest. This new spin-off from the beloved Horizon series promises a cooperative action experience that draws inspiration from a blend of sources, including Fortnite, Hades, and even Monster Hunter. It’s an exciting time to see how these elements combine in a world already rich with lore and adventure.
For anyone looking to explore what these two titles have to offer, the choice between launching into Marathon’s nostalgic gameplay or testing the waters with Horizon Hunters Gathering could make for a rather entertaining weekend. Whether you’re a returnee to Bungie’s legacy or a newcomer to Guerrilla’s expansive universe, there’s plenty to jump into.
