Bungie has formally launched the intro cinematic for its Marathon closed alpha, which commences on April twenty third. It supplies a quick primer on the Runners, their mission on Tau Ceti IV and way more. Test it out under.
The Runners’ objectives revolve round salvaging (and extracting) assets from the planet. Curiously, the United Earth Area Council, which performed a significant half within the unique trilogy, can be current. Gamers will encounter Runners from the faction, and coping with them is as much as their “discretion.”
Nevertheless, the most important shock is the reveal of ONI, the necessary assist AI that accompanies gamers and helps switch and reboot their consciousness into a brand new shell. The title, after all, references Bungie’s 2001 third-person motion title, and given its cyberpunk nature, you must surprise if the universe ties into Marathon or if it’s only a neat Easter egg.
The Marathon alpha is on the market till Might 4th, and the complete recreation will launch on September twenty third for Xbox Sequence X/S, PS5, and PC.
