Bungie's new extraction shooter, Marathon, just completed its Server Slam weekend, and players are still finding secrets even days after it closed. X user AkiAndFam found a small quirk in the game that changes the entire format of Marathon's universe. When playing as the Assassin, Aki saw a small "lobster" that was blue in colour; however, for his teammate playing as Triage it was red and for his third teammate playing as the Destroyer, it was Green.
This has raised the question of how deep the lore of the Marathon world is going to run. Bungie is known for its interesting puzzles and ARG's so it would not be surprising if Marathon also featured this. Due to the conscious-based narrative of the Runner Shells, it would make sense for the players controlling them to perceive Tau Ceti IV in different ways depending on the Shells that they are selecting.
TikTok user Professor Broman has even suggested that in the future, there may even be a need for certain groupings of Shells to be used in conjunction with one another in order to unlock rooms, complete certain puzzles or even find hidden bosses.
There are six playable Runner Shells in Marathon: The Destroyer, The Assassin, The Triage, The Thief, The Vandal, The Recon and finally The Rook. Each Shell is complete with their own unique skill sets. It will be interesting to see how these Shells interact with each other and perceive Tau Ceti IV when the game fully launches on March 5th. <bild></bild>
