Bungie Announces Marathon Gameplay Reveal Livestream Date

Bungie is gearing up to showcase gameplay from its upcoming PvP extraction shooter, Marathon, with a livestream set for April 12. This gameplay reveal follows a Twitter tease that engaged the community in an alternative reality game, unraveling clues from a mysterious video. Marathon, a reboot of the classic franchise, immerses players in the role of cybernetic mercenaries on the planet Tau Ceti IV, where survival and loot collection are key elements. Despite earlier updates indicating the game was in its early stages, recent developments and studio changes have accelerated its reveal as Bungie adjusts its focus on live service games.

The gameplay reveal for Marathon is scheduled for April 12 at 10 am PDT (San Francisco) and will be available to view on the official Marathon Twitch channel.

Marathon, originally a beloved series from the 1990s, has returned with modern gameplay elements while retaining its eerie psychological themes. Players will take on the role of Runners exploring lost colonies and battling through the challenging environment of Tau Ceti IV, marking a significant evolution for the franchise as Bungie shifts towards contemporary gaming trends.
