They're not making a game like the old Marathon games, so I don't know why they felt the need to use the name. It's an extraction shooter. A live service in a sea of them. I thought they might be making a more traditional FPS to complement their live service FPS, but nope. More of that garbage. They're not making FPS games for me these days.
There are a few reasons that they might put out a non-gaas game even if that was the reason Sony bought them, like not competing with yourself. Also the fact that Halo is still Halo, but Bungie doesn't own Halo anymore, and Marathon is a close enough approximation that they do own. But no, looks like they're pulling a Prey and just thought the name was cool, so they put it on the next idea that came out of their heads.
