Is Marathon an Extraction Shooter? Key Gameplay Insights

Dive into the intriguing world of Bungie's Marathon reboot.

Marathon, a fresh project from Bungie, aims to revitalize a franchise that first appeared in the 1990s. Recent gameplay details have emerged, stirring curiosity about whether this new title falls under extraction shooters. With tough competition dominating this genre, many are eager to see how Marathon will stack up against established names.

Marathon is a traditional PvP extraction shooter featuring sci-fi elements and cybernetic mercenaries. Players embark on various quests, gear up, load into one of three distinct maps, and attempt to extract their loot successfully while battling opposing players. It’s straightforward, but what really sets Marathon apart is its setting.

The action unfolds in a ‘lost colony’ on Tau Ceti IV, which is far removed from our familiar surroundings. Players assume the role of ‘Runners’, essentially soldiers for hire. Their goal? To snag riches and rewards during each raid into the lively world of Marathon.

Marathon is designed as a multiplayer experience with a competitive PvP model, something standard in extraction shooters. Being a survival game means it carries an intensity not found in average shooters.

The genre’s leader, Escape from Tarkov, sets an intimidating precedent as one of gaming’s most ruthless titles; potential players should keep that reality in mind. The loot will be categorized into three distinct types: loot itself, implants, and perks.

  • Loot: Standard items recovered during missions.
  • Implants: Enhancements used to upgrade characters.
  • Perks: Skills and abilities unlocked through gameplay progress.

Sourcing revealed hints at a permadeath feature being present in some form; meaning each death could carry dire consequences for players engaged within this unforgiving environment.
