The description for Marathon on its official website reads, “Become a runner in Bungie’s new sci-fi pvp extraction shooter. Compete for survival, riches, and renown in a world of evolving, persistent zones, where any run can lead to greatness.” The character models in the teaser for the game didn’t reveal any other information, but the official website confirms that the game will be set in the year 2850 on Tau Ceti, which was where the players had to travel in the 1994 Marathon game. In addition to this, it is also revealed that the player characters called “Runners” will be able to shift their consciousness to different bodies through clone technology, which ensures that they never really die.
