The “Vision of Marathon” ViDoc for their PvPvE survival extraction FPS Marathon was released today by Bungie, the developers of Halo and Destiny. As a bio-cybernetic Runner in Marathon, players must scavenge the lost colony of Tau Ceti IV while fending off rival Runners, hostile security forces, and adverse conditions in order to find their fortune.
The Bungie devs demonstrated improvements to the tactical shooter as part of the ViDoc, which included:
- Proximity chat
- Solo queue
- A Rook shell with a limited loadout, used to scavenge in-progress rounds
- Enhanced the survival experience, immersion, and danger of the world
- Increased visual fidelity and updated UI
- And more!
