Can Bungie reverse the extraction shooter’s tanking reputation, proving that game dev really is a Marathon and not a sprint
Fancy a bit of risk-free scavenging with the odds of survival stacked against you? The Rook may be your preferred Runner Shell.
Things are looking quite good over on Tau Ceti IV, with some smooth movement, excellent weapons, and dangerous enemies to use them on.
Bungie also touts "fully authoritative" dedicated servers for combat and looting, mid-run reconnection and more for the shooter.
Watch the Destroyer, Thief and Assassin battle against AI enemies and other Runners to extract their loot from Tau Ceti IV.
Check out all the ways to kill or be killed on Tau Ceti IV or watch a pair of Runners team up with some Rooks to take on PvE threats.
Director Joe Ziegler also confirms cross-progression, with a single shared save file for players moving between PC and consoles.
The upcoming Server Slam includes five of the six Factions' early Contracts alongside two maps, proximity chat and solo queue.
PlayStation Plus subscribers can also avail themselves of exclusive Weapon Charms based on Helldivers 2, Ghost of Yotei, and more.
Bungie won't drop a "surprise preview" this weekend, but it will inform fans of the "dates in advance", so they have time to plan.
Details about Marathon were revealed thanks to impressions posted by members of the Chinese media during a recent hands-on event.
The Assassin brings some chills to its kills, striking from the shadows before vanishing without a trace of it ever being there.
Rather than focusing on gameplay, the trailer instead shows off how Runners using the Destroyer shell won't back down from a fight.
Collector's Edition owners should also be able to activate their code on the platform after an error prevented them from doing so.
He spoke about how he was strictly in charge of the art direction for Marathon, and he didn't control how gameplay would end up.
You'll only need an 11th-gen Core i5, 16 GB RAM and an RTX 2060 (8 GB) to enjoy the extraction shooter on recommended settings.
Ben Starr, Jennifer English, Neil Newbon, Roger Clark, and Craig Lee Thomas have also been confirmed for the English voice cast.
Pre-orders are seemingly opening soon, and the Deluxe Edition includes two weapon skins, three Runner skins, and other content.
Do you offer some loot to a Rook or shoot them in the back? The choice, among many others, is yours in Bungie's extraction shooter.
Aside from the few skins that are seemingly part of the Marathon Deluxe Edition, it is unknown how players can unlock the rest.
