概要
Marathon is a team-based PvPvE extraction shooter that drops players into the treacherous, abandoned colony of Tau Ceti IV. As a bio-cybernetic Runner, you will scavenge for powerful loot and alien artifacts while competing against rival trios and battling intelligent AI threats. Blending Bungie's signature gunplay with punishing extraction mechanics, every 25-minute match is a thrilling gamble where survival means glory, and death means permanent gear loss.
ストーリー
Set in the year 2893, the narrative centers on the mysterious vanishing of a 30,000-person colony on Tau Ceti IV. The Unified Earth Space Council (UESC) has hidden the truth, leaving players to decipher cryptic signals from dormant AI and piece together the lore. Driven by seasonal storytelling, the world's mysteries and faction motivations unfold progressively through community actions and environmental discovery.
Gameplay
Matches revolve around intense 25-minute deployments where squads of three navigate persistent evolving zones to loot, complete contracts, and extract safely. Movement is grounded and tactical, heavily governed by a stamina system that dictates sprinting and sliding, demanding strategic pacing. You must balance the high-stakes risk of permanent loot loss against the rewards of securing rare moddable weapons, core system upgrades, and defeating challenging bosses.
