Bungie’s New Marathon Game Has an Amazing Short Film

After a decade, it focuses only on the continuous joint global shooter amount, BUNGIE revives the series of shooting on ancient science fiction Marathon. As part of the official veil of the game on Saturday, the developer released a cinematic palace that may be one of the most wonderful videos of 2025.

Written and directed by Spanish animation Alberto Meligo – known for Love, death and robots And the technical director of Spider-Man: in the spiderThe eight -minute video shows an interesting science fiction world, and more than just a worrying world in this new Marathon. While opening it, something happens … a stranger on the fourth planet Tao City. Some colonies are crushed by satellite debris from a meteor shower, and others die where they stand in a horrific way. Even the creeping is that we see these deaths extend over several decades, from 2794 to 2812 and 2827. Then we jump forward to 2893, where cyber organisms – humans who have automatic bodies designed by the Cyber ​​Worms – are still pronouncing the colony of anything they can get their hands for sale to different facts that are still stable on the flavor.

This second part of the cinematic, which is characterized by narration from Final Fantasy XVI’s Ben Star, is supposed to appear to you Marathon Play ring. Since this is multi -player extraction, players will take over the role of electronic mercenaries who call the contestants to steal data, research, and the like for different Tau Ceti factions, shooting each other (or wildlife of the planet or security) to see and escape safely. But the main point in this cinematic is to take you to the new science fiction world in Bungie and offer glimpses of what you will see during the shooting of each other in the scrap. Feelings and atmosphere have always been one of the powerful Bungie suits, and what is really interesting in this short is the vision of the contestants like Glitch (Erica Lindbeck) and Void (Elias Toufexis) mistake, But completely unable to bustle why. Whatever their drawing, there are hooks in them deeply, not even obtaining fire on bits will prevent them from continuing after their construction.

Luxury cinema is not new to games at this stage of the life of the middle. But for Bonji, Marathon It looks like a huge step forward from what the studio previously did Halo and amount. The aesthetic of the game is great and distinctive from anything that is seen in major science fiction games at some time. It also seems everything on cold – this, after all, a world that is vibrated by its inhabitants that disappear mysteriously, perhaps because of some something Wandering corridors – there is vitality for colors that do not collide as much as you think. It has also been shot differently from any Bungie Cutscene so far; The camera near the contestants provides the fossils that they do not get (or ignore it) from each other and make the scenes in which they die reach this maximum.

For many, this short will be enough to sell it Marathon Alone, Sony is likely to use scraps from it to promote the game on TV. For others, The Short has done everything correctly in terms of making them a drug addict … but it is a multi -player game with no one player to talk about. This is a real shame, because at its best, Bungie’s campaigns were unforgettable and stayed with the players for years. It is easy to imagine that this is very saved if we can only be on Tau Ceti and investigate its secrets in an attractive narration with narrow weapons and some sweet music. Oh, well – for multiple players, Marathon It will be run to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S and PC on September 23.
