Trailer
What is Marathon about?
A massive ghost ship hangs in low orbit over a lost colony. The 30,000 souls who called this world home have disappeared without a trace. Strange signals hint at rumors of mysterious artifacts, long-dormant AI, and troves of untold riches. You are a cybernetic mercenary – a Runner – and your destination is Tau Ceti IV. You are one of many, working solo or with a crew, venturing into the unknown and facing the unimaginable in a fight for survival, for riches, for fame... and for infamy. Who among you will write their names across the stars?

“This is a great, genuinely fun shooter, but unfortunately that has been blurred by the relentless hate campaign surrounding it. I think a major reason for the backlash is that a large portion of the gaming population has an extremely low tolerance for failure.…”
