About
The Marathon Deluxe Upgrade seamlessly elevates your Standard Edition into a premium experience. While retaining the intense, fair-play PvPvE extraction core of Bungie's upcoming shooter, this upgrade injects your runs with exclusive cosmetic style and progression boosts. Dive into the derelict zones of Tau Ceti IV looking your absolute best while climbing the seasonal ranks with ease.
Story
Set in 2893 on the lost colony of Tau Ceti IV, bio-cybernetic 'Runners' scavenge for artifacts amid rival factions and rogue AI. There is no traditional campaign; instead, the narrative is entirely player-driven, with your high-stakes firefights and extractions actively shaping the evolving lore of the derelict Marathon ship.
Gameplay
Experience tense, low time-to-kill PvPvE combat where you scavenge, fight, and attempt to exfiltrate with valuable loot. Choose from six distinct Runner classes—like the stealthy Void or disruptive Glitch—and use your extracted gear to build stronger loadouts without ever facing pay-to-win advantages.
