Bandai Namco to Shut Synduality Online Servers in 2027, Pivot to Offline Mode

Bandai Namco announced that Synduality: Echo of Ada will end online service in May 2027, just two years after its January 2025 launch. The publisher will replace the multiplayer PvPvE extraction mode with a single-player offline PvE experience. In-game currency sales cease in December 2026, and the game will transition to local saves by then. The move follows low concurrent player counts and player frustration with the punishing death penalty system.

Marathon’s Future: Bungie Bets on PvE Growth With Symbiosis Update

Bungie acknowledges Marathon didn’t reach as many players as hoped and says the game needs to evolve. The studio plans to end the current seasonal model and roll out a December update called Symbiosis that adds a new PvE mode, aiming to deepen Marathon beyond its extraction-shooter roots while still offering PvP and PvPvE experiences. Bungie stresses that Marathon isn’t meant to replace Destiny, but could play a larger role in its future through expanded narrative and world-building. More details are expected later this week.

Marathon Season 2 Debuts PvP-Lite Mode Amid Gear Wipe

Marathon Season 2 kicks off with a complete gear wipe and a free-to-play first week, introducing a new PvP-lite mode called Sponsored Survival where players infiltrate Night Marsh solo or in duos, facing drones and new enemies before a timed exfil. Rooks will backfill loot later, and players must decide whether to ally or clash during the run, which ends when the exfil opens after an 18-minute timer. The mode is experimental and may fragment queues, and Bungie hints at a dedicated PvE mode later in Season 2, though some players doubt PvPvE will satisfy the core narrative.
