Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Bungie's newly released extraction shooter Marathon features previously inactive computer terminals that have now turned on, engaging players with dialogue.
- These terminals resemble those from the original 1990s Marathon trilogy, where AI characters like Durandal communicated with players through text logs.
- Durandal, the franchise's iconic AI and main antagonist, appears to be speaking to players via these terminals, adding depth to the game's narrative.
- On March 6, a new level unlocked for players level 12 and above, coinciding with the activation of these terminals that guide players to new locations and further interactions.
- The voice behind the terminals is believed to be Ben Starr, who voiced the narrator in last year's Marathon CG short and is widely speculated
