extraction shooter reboot announced in 2023, that we've heard practically nothing about since. Well, we may be about to hear more, and possibly quite soon.
After months of silence following a message from game director Joe Ziegler, who reassured the world that work on the game is continuing but otherwise revealed nothing of note, the Marathon social media s fired up today to reveal, well, this:

And what exactly is this? I do not know, but it's attracting a lot of attention. The official Xbox leapt in, as did Discord, although neither had a whole lot to say. Many Bungie followers also chimed in, most expressing excitement that maybe, finally, we'll get a proper look at the game, and a few determined to decode what they're pretty sure is a hidden message and not just 15 seconds of hype.
Assuming the post does mean an imminent update on the status of Marathon, it's long overdue. The announcement of the reboot was followed by (of course) an taken over as game director.
It later came to light that longtime Bungie employee Christopher Barrett, the original director, had been working its way through the courts.
That dearth of information, not to mention Bungie's seemingly endless struggles with Destiny 2 and difficulties with Sony, has not inspired great confidence in the Marathon reboot. PC Gamer's Tim Clark, a man who literally taking a bath on Concord, Bungie parent Sony might not be inclined to show too much patience if Marathon doesn't come out of the gate very strong.
But that all remains to be seen. For now, gamers are just excited about the prospect of seeing something about the game. Fingers crossed it'll be good.
