The official announcement trailer for the new sci-fi PVP extraction shooter Marathon, which comes from the creators of Halo and Destiny, has been released.
“A massive ghost ship hangs in low orbit over a lost colony. The 30,000 souls who called this world home have disappeared without a trace. Strange signals hint at rumors of mysterious artifacts, long-dormant AI, and troves of untold riches. You are a cybernetic mercenary – a Runner – and your destination is Tau Ceti IV. You are one of many, working solo or with a crew, venturing into the unknown and facing the unimaginable in a fight for survival, for riches, for fame… and for infamy. Who among you will write their names across the stars?” the official description reads.
The trailer gives viewers a glimpse at the setting, the mysterious planet of Tau Ceti IV, and features several Runners, cybernetic mercenaries each with their own number, running for a mission. One of them, though, the number 10, ends up shot.
The soundtrack music is “Heavy Metal (SebastiAn Remix)” by Justice.
Marathon is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC with full cross-save and cross-play. No release date has been announced.
