Bungie has formally launched the intro cinematic for its Marathon closed alpha, which commences on April twenty third. It gives a quick primer on the Runners, their mission on Tau Ceti IV and rather more. Test it out beneath.
The Runners’ objectives revolve round salvaging (and extracting) sources from the planet. Apparently, the United Earth House Council, which performed a significant half within the authentic trilogy, can be current. Gamers will encounter Runners from the faction, and coping with them is as much as their “discretion.”
Nonetheless, the most important shock is the reveal of ONI, the obligatory assist AI that accompanies gamers and helps switch and reboot their consciousness into a brand new shell. The identify, in fact, references Bungie’s 2001 third-person motion title, and given its cyberpunk nature, it’s a must to surprise if the universe ties into Marathon or if it’s only a neat Easter egg.
The Marathon alpha is out there till Could 4th, and the complete recreation will launch on September twenty third for Xbox Collection X/S, PS5, and PC.
