If I can be vulnerable for a moment, I have something I need to get off my chest: I have no idea what Marathon is actually about, but that's by choice. I am unequivocally in love with its marketing and the fact it gives very little away about what's actually going on in the world of the game. Otherworldly synths; trippy, sci-fi visuals; bright, bold colours. Oh yeah, this is what it's all about—feeling, not knowing. I hate going into a movie with the plot already laid bare by a far-too-obvious trailer, so the vibes-based approach of Marathon's teasers have been a soothing balm to me.
What I do know is another Marathon trailer has been released, and it's a teaser for the last character to be revealed: Rook. We see this slender shell timidly approach a group of fallen robots in a milky pool of liquid that Ridley Scott would absolutely love. The oil and fluids leaking out of them creates a gorgeous kaleidoscope of colours on the surface.
