Alpha sign ups are now live for Marathon – Bungie’s new extraction shooter loosely based on the classic 1994 Marathon game.
Coming to PC, Xbox & PlayStation, in Marathon, players scavenge the abandoned colony of Tau Ceti IV as cybernetic mercenaries known as Runners. The team-based extraction shooter from the creators of Halo and Destiny drops you into a competitive battleground where rival crews vie for valuable loot and technology.
In Marathon you’ll be able to choose your Runner from a roster of unique operatives, each with specialized abilities that shape your tactical approach. Team up in three-person crews to outmaneuver opponents and overcome the colony’s automated security forces.
Success means escaping with weapons, implants, and equipment that fill your personal vault and strengthen future expeditions. The bravest Runners may even venture to the mysterious Marathon ship looming above the colony.
It is yet another extraction shooter, but it’s got tons of style and Bungie are very good at creating Sci-Fi FPS games. The Marathon closed Alpha is due later this month, so sign up now to rediscover the world of Tau Ceti IV early.
