Today’s demonstration indicated that Marathon is a cooperative team shooter game, focusing on extraction missions. Assume the role of an enhanced character, equipped with unique strategies and skills. Initially, at least four characters will be available for play during the closed alpha test. These include Locus, a soldier built for advancement, Blackbird, specializing in reconnaissance, Glitch, the disruptor, and Void, the master of stealth. As multiple player teams engage on the same map with objectives, you’ll also encounter security robots and aliens that must be circumvented or eliminated, thus incorporating aspects of both Player vs Player (PvP) and Player vs Environment (PvE).
