After Bungie announced Marathon in May 2023, it said it planned to go "dark to focus on the game" and pledged to show gameplay the next time it talked about its extraction shooter.
Zeigler acknowledged that pledge, saying the studio isn't ready to show gameplay just yet. Instead, Zeigler pitches the concept of Marathon as an "intense" extraction shooter where players fight over loot, then try to survive and escape with their haul.
While showing concept art for the Thief, Zeigler said, "If you notice the character creepily peeking around the corner in that quiet moment before she makes her move - this is sort of like the theme of that character in a lot of ways, and should give you a hint as to what kind of gameplay that character is going to be driving from."
Referring to the Stealth Runner, Zeigler said that it will use deception as a utility trait. "They're really hastily and unexpectedly dangerous, which creates a lot of suspense for the players."
