Will Marathon's PvP focus pull players from Arc Raiders?
Marathon is almost here, and the extraction shooter aims to prove it's got more than just a killer aesthetic. As a server slam weekend approaches a few days before launch, many in the Arc Raiders community are deciding whether they'll try Bungie's game when it arrives on March 5.
Discussion has centred on Marathon's PvP emphasis versus Arc Raiders' PvE-led updates. Some veterans warn that, "If Arc's developers continue to focus on PvE, there will be an outflow of PvP players to Marathon," and point out that recent additions like the Cold Snap update and the Shared Watch event haven’t felt PvP-first.
Others expect the two games to attract different crowds, or even welcome a shake-up.
