Marathon

Marathon is a sci-fi extraction shooter from Bungie that reimagines the classic 1990s sci-fi universe for a new generation. Set on the mysterious artificial world of Tau Ceti IV, players step into the role of cybernetic mercenaries known as Runners, diving into dangerous zones to recover valuable artifacts, data, and tech left behind by vanished colonists. Every run presents high-stakes risk-versus-reward choices where coordination, map knowledge, and precise gunplay are critical to surviving both hostile AI threats and rival player squads. Built as a PvP-focused, session-based experience, Marathon emphasizes persistence and progression across runs. Loot and intel you extract influence your capabilities in future excursions, while the world’s narrative slowly unfolds through environmental storytelling, discovered logs, and evolving seasonal content. With Bungie’s trademark feel for responsive combat, layered sci-fi lore, and a focus on competitive, replayable encounters, Marathon aims to blend tactical extraction gameplay with a living universe driven by player actions.
