Progress on Unleashed Metal backend is mostly just waiting on more work upstream. Metal work here has already lead to some fixes in Plume which will trickle down to Unleashed. That and Skyth is taking a bit of a break before getting back into it.

Still lots more coming and lots more to go, so stay tuned :)

It's been another week, and we've been hard at work resolving lots of big GPU and CPU problems. Although this looks pretty complete, we're still a long way from release, so please bear with us as we make this game the best it can be.

Once again, payment processors continue their crusade to rid the internet of any NSFW content. Complete bullshit; Visa, MasterCard and every payment processor have no business policing what consenting adults can purchase with THEIR money.

I hope this answers most of your questions. Please feel free to reply with any further questions. We cannot at this time give an ETA, itโ€™ll take as long as it takes, but Iโ€™ll be posting updates here, and you can also see progress on the GitHub repo, which is public at

Plans are to support Windows, macOS, and Linux at launch, with a familiar and easy-to-use installer.

15.07.2025 23:55 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 40    ๐Ÿ” 2    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

That being said, LoS and the upcoming physics mod contain most of the fixes that make P-06 play like it does, so whenever we get code mode support, those could be added in.

15.07.2025 23:55 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 30    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

We are working alongside some of the Legacy of Solaris folks, so hopefully weโ€™ll be able to bring that mod to the recomp in the future.

P-06, however, is not a mod but a remake in an entirely different engine, as such we cannot add โ€œP-06 supportโ€.

Many of the small codes available in the existing mod manager will likely be ported as optional fixes. Both Unleashed and Marathon share the same backend, so when Unleashed gets code mod support, so will this. In the meantime, mods will be restricted to asset replacement and Lua patches.

15.07.2025 23:55 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 30    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

We will include some minor fixes here and there, as well as the expected quality of life improvements, such as uncapped FPS, support for different aspect ratios and resolutions, etc. However, the experience will largely remain vanilla.

Thank you, everyone, for your interest and support! I thought I would answer some FAQs about Marathon Recompiled.

We plan to support all DLC. We spent much of the afternoon getting it working today. Achievements will be tracked like Unleashed.

15.07.2025 23:53 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 118    ๐Ÿ” 33    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 13    ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

Not gonna give an ETA at this point. Still quite a lot to fix and canโ€™t say for sure what the timeline will be.

Weโ€™ve not started on aspect ratio and resolution patches just yet but hopefully we can offer as much flexibility as Unleashed.

Should do yeah, it's no more intensive than Unleashed Recompiled, in fact probably less so since the rendering is much simpler.

Been a while since I posted a progress update on Marathon Recompiled, so here's where we're at!

We have working builds for Linux and macOS, and I'm working on sorting out the remaining blockers for Windows.

Bugs in game, and singleplayer 3D not rendering properly yet but stay tuned...

As of beta 3, Liquid Glass can now adapt to background content to fix obscene contrast ratios.
