Bungie finished today's Marathon gameplay reveal stream with a surprise treat: An eight-minute animation that sets the scene for the game's lore, and specifically how brutal life is for runners seeking to make their fortune on Tau Ceti IV. Or, more specifically, their frequent, repeated deaths.
I actually saw the short just over a week ago at Bungie's Seattle office as part of a two-day playtest—which you can read about here—and it's honestly the best one of these I've seen from a game in a long time. (Watch it below.)
