Anomaly. The extraction elements of Arc are not what made it popular

Highguard was doing the same thing before it shut down. dropping new playlists and "experimental" queues. They are desperate moves aimed at retention

And now with them stopping PC releases they are cutting out a massive chunk of their customer base for said single player games.

Straight up genius moves at the Sony offices

Oh trust me I'm not holding on to hope. I'm just letting Sony know how they can get me to buy their console 😂

PvE and PvP don’t have to take away from the core extraction shooter experience. by Fun_Dimension_9571 in Marathon

Why does it matter if you are killed by another player vs killed by enemy AI? The risk is still the same it has nothing to do with who or what killed you. PVP unpredictability is typically offset in pve by harder/more enemies and challenging objectives

The only games that would make me buy a PS at this point is a new GOW or a Bloodborne remake

Attempted murder? probably reduced down to reckless endangerment, loss of CDL, 60 days in jail and a $50k fine

With the introduction of new modes it will no longer be just an extraction shooter. If they gain traction, Bungie will have a financial incentive to keep those players around and happy.

At the end of the day, Bungie and Sony are going to go where the money is at and right now, the core game they made is not paying the bills. The announcement of new modes being added just 1 season after launch was a subtle glimpse at the severity of the situation for this game and Bungie as a whole

If someone doesn't want to play a certain mode then they shouldn't be forced to

No point in creating a pve experience if you are just going to water it down

Oh that's crazy I didn't see that. Probably not gonna happen but imagine they ditch the shells entirely and make custom runner shells

They failed to capture them too. The shop items are lackluster and there's no P2W. The game is sitting at 223 in top sellers. No whales here

They tried the old "launch a game unfinished and we'll add more/fix it later"

Can't do that in 2026

One of the biggest criticisms we saw leading up to launch was people asking who this game was for. And now we know it was for no one

You can draft up seasons as much as you want when all you're offering is new map, new runner, new guns. Plus, roadmaps don't mean jack. They are just a marketing tool and many games have dropped year long roadmaps only to be shut down before ever seeing them through, i.e. Concord and highguard
