Bungie Details Anti-Cheat Plans for Its Extraction Shooter Marathon | The Outerhaven

With Bungie’s Marathon release date not that far away, and the upcoming Server Slam that takes place on February 26, 2026, where we can all play the game for free, it seems that Bungie is getting serious about cheaters.

Armatus Preview | The Outerhaven

It’s funny how 2026 keeps introducing me to games that were not even on my radar a week ago and Armatus is the latest example. What started as casual curiosity quickly turned into eight hours of “one more run” until I looked up and realized I had completely lost track of time.

But this is not some derivative project trying to copy homework. It fee...
