It will be another sci-fi, persistent world, first-person shooter where you can play alone or in teams in a PvPvE-style environment. If Marathon looks and sounds a lot like Destiny, you’re not completely wrong. The team does state that they intend to remain faithful to the original lore and universe of Marathon without being a direct sequel. They give an example of players potentially discovering something during a run that opens up a brand new area of the map that all players could then explore. It will not have a single-player campaign, so all story and lore will be delivered through the PvP mode.

In that same blog post, Taylor explained that a big focus for Marathon would be “player-based storytelling” in which player choices and actions will have some impact on the story itself rather than it being ridged. They pull something from the corpse as two others stand guard. We get some quick cuts of possible enemies and creatures before our runner is taken down by a sniper that looks robotic in nature. The main focus is a character running with a timer counting down on their back on a ship that appears to have crashed straight through a moon.

The teaser trailer for Marathon has no gameplay, and gives a look at the sci-fi world of the game. Marathon - Announce Trailer | PS5 & PC Games
