Marshall Parsons

Game Designer

Marathon




Marathon is a AAA extraction shooter released by Bungie in March 2026.

My role on Marathon is a Contract Designer. This is sort of Marathon's version of a mission designer. I primarily worked on the game's "Priority Contracts" which form the game's "golden path" track. Priority contracts are generally each a bespoke chunk of gameplay and content, scripted together to convey the game's narrative.

I am an external developer working on Marathon via my employer, Pipeworks.
