    Marathon is a next-generation sci-fi extraction shooter from Bungie, the studio behind Halo and Destiny. Set on the long-abandoned colony world of Tau Ceti IV, the game places players in the role of a Runner, a cybernetic mercenary engineered for survival in a hostile, high-risk environment where profit and persistence are everything.

    Each match is a calculated gamble. Enter the surface alone or with a small crew to scavenge rare technology, weapons, and data while contending with enemy Runners, aggressive AI factions, and unpredictable environmental dangers. Combat is fast, precise, and unforgiving, emphasizing strong gunplay, tactical positioning, and smart resource management. Extract successfully to secure your loot and grow stronger; fail, and everything you carried is lost.

    Tau Ceti IV is a living battlefield layered with mystery. As you explore abandoned research facilities, industrial ruins, and alien terrain, you will uncover fragments of a failed human expedition and the forces that still haunt the planet. Progression allows you to select and customize distinct Runner shells, modify weapons and implants, and develop builds that support different playstyles, ranging from stealth and mobility to direct confrontation.

    Designed as a long-term, evolving experience, Marathon features cross-platform multiplayer, seasonal progression, and ongoing narrative and gameplay updates. Every run reshapes your future, and every encounter tests your resolve.

    Not gonna lie, I was expecting something more unique besides the art direction. Don't get me wrong, it's a good game. The gameplay is solid, which, coming from Bungie, is a given, but it's missing something to push it past its competitors. Maybe when the new map becomes available and the aliens show up we'll get a notion of what the game can truly offer.

    Marathon is a multiplayer PvP shooter with extraction shooter mechanics and a sci-fi Marathon. Playing as cybernetic mercenaries called "runners," players must face the dangers of evolving environments, alone or in collaboration with others, where each match aims to offer a different experience. The game is set on the inhospitable planet Tau Ceti IV, a colony once inhabited by 300,000 people who mysteriously disappeared, and which appears to hide precious artifacts and treasures. Despite being set in the universe of the original trilogy released on Mac OS in the 1990s, Bungie has confirmed that the title is neither a remake nor a direct sequel. Therefore, it is not necessary to have played the previous games to understand the lore and gameplay of Marathon.

    This new game from Bungie is really fun... you meet PvE and also PvP people. This game is about searching and looting the colourful planet. Well I wont say more but the game is well optimized and will run really good in most machines. Last thing I will say is .... buy it or try the Demo before and see if you like it... ;) I did and hope you so.

    Marathon looks like an interesting addition to the extraction shooter genre. Bungie usually delivers solid gunplay, so I’m curious to see how the PvPvE gameplay and long-term seasonal updates will evolve after launch.

    After playing Marathon, I have a quite divided opinion. The gameplay is rather successful and I don’t find the game particularly frustrating. The extraction system works well and the games can be quite intense, especially when several teams cross paths. The shooting sensations are solid and the matches remain dynamic. On the other hand, what I liked much less was the artistic direction. The very bright colors and visual style did not really convince me. Personally, I prefer science fiction universes that are a bit more immersive or realistic, and here I had trouble catching up with the general atmosphere of the game. In the end, Marathon remains a game with a solid foundation and pleasant gameplay, but the artistic direction really prevents me from diving into it completely. With time and updates, my opinion might perhaps evolve

    Le trailer fait trop envie. Un extraction shooter plus fluide, nerveux et avec un gameplay plus simple à prendre en main. Enfin un jeu du genre qui permet de mettre l'accent sur le gameplay que sur la maitrise des outils de gameplay (contrôles compliqués, etc). J'ai trop envie d'y jouer!

    Marathon delivers a fast-paced, atmospheric experience that blends classic Bungie DNA with modern design. The worldbuilding is fascinating, and the gunplay feels incredibly smooth. A solid foundation that will only get better with future updates

    Marathon, Bungie’nin çok oyunculu nişancı türüne getirdiği farklı bir yaklaşımı temsil ediyor. Oyun, klasik arena shooter yapısından ziyade extraction shooter mantığına odaklanıyor ve oyuncuları risk–ödül dengesine dayalı gerilimli karşılaşmalara sokuyor. Görsel tasarımı ve bilim kurgu atmosferi dikkat çekici olsa da, türün rekabetçi yapısı herkes için çekici olmayabilir. Eğer taktiksel oynanış ve yüksek riskli PvP deneyimleri ilginizi çekiyorsa Marathon ilginizi çekebilir, ancak oyun büyük ölçüde oyuncu topluluğunun uzun vadede nasıl şekilleneceğine bağlı görünüyor.

    Marathon marks a major shift for the classic franchise, reimagining it as a modern extraction shooter rather than a traditional single-player sci-fi shooter like the original games. Developed by Bungie, the game focuses on tense PvPvE gameplay where players, known as Runners, explore dangerous zones, collect valuable loot, and attempt to extract before other teams eliminate them. Early impressions highlight the strong gunplay—something Bungie is well known for from titles like Destiny 2—along with a striking sci-fi art style and mysterious narrative elements tied to the series’ lore. However, the shift to an extraction-based multiplayer format has divided fans, with some praising the competitive tension and replayability while others miss the story-driven single-player experience of the original Marathon games. Overall, Marathon looks like a bold but risky reinvention that could stand out in the crowded multiplayer shooter market if its gameplay loop proves deep and rewarding.
