Summary
Bungie has released a trailer for its new futuristic first-person shooter (FPS) game, Marathon, showing gameplay for the first time.
The game, a reboot of the classic franchise of the same name, will feature speedy looting and loot preservation on exit, and a stable of six characters to choose from at launch, with seasonal storytelling events.
Marathon will have up to 18 players per game but also allows players to go it alone.
There will be a closed alpha from April 23 to May 4, accessible via the game’s official Discord channel, but only for players in North America.
The game’s release is slated for September 23, and gamers comment that it looks promising, with concerns about Bungie’s previous tendency to prioritise gameplay over story.
