Marathon is a PvP-focused shooter with evacuation elements set on the mysterious planet Tau Ceti IV. Players will control Runners—cybernetic mercenaries designed to survive the planet's harsh conditions and explore a lost colony that once inhabited Tau Ceti's surface. Players will fight alone or in teams of three, searching for mysterious alien artifacts, as well as valuable loot, new weapons, and equipment to add to their collection.

A massive ghost ship hovers in low orbit above a lost colony. 30,000 souls who called this world home have vanished without a trace. Strange signals hint at rumors of mysterious artifacts, long-dormant AI, and untold riches. You are a cybernetic mercenary, a Runner, and your target is Tau Ceti IV. You are one of many, working alone or with a team, venturing into the unknown and facing the unimaginable in a fight for survival, for wealth, for glory... and for shame. Which of you will write your name in the stars?

Key Game Features:

• A Graveyard of Possibilities: Trespass across deserted research facilities, rugged landscapes, and security outposts holding the remnants of a vanished expedition, yours to salvage. Tau Ceti threatens death at every turn with unique enemies, dynamic events, and environmental hazards. Each zone escalates in difficulty, preparing you for the UESC Marathon locked in the heavens.
• Powerful. Configurable. Expendable: Six equippable Runner shells offer diverse playstyle foundations to build upon, like Destroyer, Recon, and Thief. Scavenge an arsenal of moddable weapons, body implants, and core system upgrades to craft countless builds. Strategize as a crew each run to form comps that maximize your combined strengths, shaping the way you approach fights and objectives.
• Enemies Everywhere: Face the unknown as a crew of two or three, or alone in solo lobbies. Or sneak into in-progress crew lobbies as Rook, a lone scavenger with no starting gear and nothing to lose. Forge uneasy alliances with rival Runners in prox chat to defeat mutual foes, but remember your new allies might revert to enemies just as quickly. Be merciless in combat: A lone survivor can reboot their crew, even from death. Later in Season 1, compete in Rated mode to measure your skill and build a name for yourself.
• Influence is Power: Liaise with six competing factions, each offering lucrative incentives to advance their foothold on Tau Ceti. Completing faction contracts grows your baseline power via season-long unlocks like Runner shell upgrades, stronger starting loadouts, expanded vault space, and specialized wares on offer for spare loot.
• Defragment the Truth: No one knows what happened a century ago when the Marathon expedition went dark. As a trespasser into UESC territory, you are uniquely positioned to piece the story together. Unearth the skeletons of Tau Ceti’s past as you run deeper into the colony.
• Death Hangs Above: Once the way into orbit unlocks, bring your endgame build to Cryo Archive, the first floor of the UESC Marathon. Solve raid-like security measures to unseal frozen vaults and pillage the artifacts within. Every cramped corridor forces you into conflict with fully-geared enemy crews racing for the same prize. Breach the seventh vault to challenge an entity even the UESC fears.
