Bungie is finally ready for a Marathon 'gameplay reveal'

Bungie’s Marathon Reboot Set for Gameplay Reveal

Following an intriguing marketing campaign, including an alternate reality game (ARG) and a compelling trailer showcasing robotic wildlife and a striking color palette, Bungie has announced a gameplay reveal for its upcoming title “Marathon” on April 12. This marks the return of the classic FPS franchise as a multiplayer extraction shooter.

Details Remain Sparse Ahead of Marathon Reveal

While the reimagining of Bungie’s iconic FPS as a stylish multiplayer extraction shooter has captivated attention with its visuals and atmosphere, specific details have been scarce. A developer update last October offered some insight, describing it as a PvP FPS experience where participants vie for valuable resources, which can be lost upon failed extraction. The update also referenced characters known by the codenames “Thief” and “Stealth.”

Exploring Tau Ceti IV: The Setting of Marathon

Bungie further elaborated in a press release, stating, “Set on the enigmatic planet of Tau Ceti IV, Marathon immerses players in the roles of Runners, cybernetic mercenaries engineered for survival in the planet’s inhospitable conditions. As players explore the remnants of a lost colony on the planet’s surface, they will be in pursuit of prized loot, including advanced weapons and equipment.”

Gameplay Reveal to Clarify Marathon’s Features

Beyond these glimpses, substantial information about Marathon remains undisclosed. The upcoming gameplay reveal is anticipated to shed light on crucial specifics and provide a comprehensive understanding of the game mechanics.
