In a somewhat expected but rather dire announcement, Bungie has emerged from the shadows to confirm that its upcoming shooter Marathon has been delayed.

Bungie announced that Marathon, the Destiny studio’s next big video game, has been delayed and will no longer be launching in September. The company gave no new release date but promised to add features and make several changes that players requested after Marathon’s alpha test earlier this year.

The announcement of Marathon's delay comes not long after Bungie owner Sony said it remained committed to pursuing live-service projects even amid some stumbles. The company said it had put new systems in place to help ensure Marathon doesn't suffer the same fate as Concord.
