An extraction shooter with stunning art direction from Bungie
Marathon is Bungie's extraction shooter set in a mysterious sci-fi universe, marking the studio's return to its original franchise that predated Halo. Players are Runners — cybernetic mercenaries deployed to the lost colony of Tau Ceti IV to recover valuable artifacts from a world overrun by hostile AI and alien threats. The extraction gameplay loop combines PvPvE combat with exploration, requiring players to locate loot and reach extraction points while competing against other teams. Each Runner class offers unique abilities and traversal options designed for Bungie's signature fluid movement. The art direction features a bold, colorful aesthetic that stands apart from typical sci-fi shooters. Persistent progression and cosmetic customization reward dedicated players, while the evolving world narrative unfolds through seasonal content updates.
