I don’t think so, because If I remember correctly:
When Bungie was bought by Sony, they specifically included in the contract that they get to make a Marathon game if Destiny 2 reaches certain goals. So they aimed for a marathon game for a long time and specifically included that in the negotiations. Beats me why they would do such a poor multiplayer take on the SINGLEPLAYER franchise that is fondly remembered by fans.

“something something monkey paw curls” - maybe the contract didn’t specifically mention it would be a game of their liking, and so sony dictated it has to be a online-pvp-shooty
But then again, destiny was already an online-shooty so… dunno.
Never played a Marathon game, but as they are free on steam (bundled with some source port with AFAIK modern controls), I need to gather my pals and play them.

To be honest, the games are too for me to enjoy as games, but the story? Its great

I just wish they would revamp it with a modern engine and smooth out the story a little. I’d pay for that again. I bought the original as a freaking preorder back in the 90s (loved that box) and just adored it.
