What was old is new again.
Bungie’s first game as a first-party Sony studio will be Marathon, a sci-fi extraction shooter that will pull from the studio’s 1994 original.
“A PvP-focused extraction shooter set on the mysterious planet of Tau Ceti IV, Marathon will see players inhabit the bodies of Runners, cybernetic mercenaries who have been designed to survive the planet’s harsh environments, exploring the lost colony that once inhabited Tau Ceti’s surface,” reads a press release.
“Players will engage solo or in crews of three, searching for mysterious alien artifacts, as well as for valuable loot and new weapons and gear that they can add to their collection.”
““Even at this stage of development, it’s incredible to watch the creativity and excitement around the game at Bungie,” said Marathon game director Christopher Barrett.
“The team is committed to creating a PvP-first gameplay experience full of tension and excitement, all set in a persistent, dynamic, narratively rich online world where players’ actions have ramifications on each unfolding season.”
While a release date wasn’t detailed, Marathon is expected on Windows PC, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X and PS5; cross-save and cross-play have been confirmed as well.
