Bungie has shared the official PC system requirements for its upcoming extraction shooter, Marathon. Moreover, Bungie confirmed that the game will come out on March 5th. To celebrate this announcement, the team has also released a new trailer that you can find below.
In Marathon, players explore abandoned research labs, rough landscapes, and guarded outposts left behind by a lost expedition. You can search these places for valuable loot. The game has six Runner classes you can choose from, each offering a different playstyle to build around.
Players will be able to scavenge an arsenal of moddable weapons, body implants, and core system upgrades to craft countless builds. They can strategize as a crew each run to form comps that maximize their combined strengths, shaping the way they approach fights and objectives.
At launch, the game will have solo and squad modes. Players will be able to form squads of up to four players. Or you can join as Rook, a lone scavenger with no starting gear and nothing to lose. As a Rook, you will be able to forge uneasy alliances with rival Runners in prox chat to defeat mutual foes. Later in Season 1, you will be able to compete in Rated mode to measure your skill and build a name for yourself.
Players will also be able to build their endgame build to Cryo Archive, the first floor of the UESC Marathon. They can solve raid-like security measures to unseal frozen vaults and pillage the artifacts within. Every cramped corridor will force them into conflict with fully-geared enemy crews racing for the same prize. You can then breach the seventh vault to challenge an entity even the UESC fears.
To run it, PC gamers will at least need an Intel Core i5-6600 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 with 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, an AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT, or an Intel Arc A580. Bungie recommends using an Intel Core i5-10400 or AMD Ryzen 5 3500 with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 2060, an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, or an Intel Arc A770. Sadly, though, the devs did not reveal the framerate, resolution, and graphics settings these PC specs target.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
