Only five of Marathon’s unique factions—CyberAcme, NuCaloric, Traxus, MIDA, and Arachne—will be available during the Server Slam; Sekiguchi Genetics will not be accessible until the game’s official release. Similarly, those eager to play as the Thief shell will need to wait until the full game’s release, as only five Runner shells, including the Rook, will be available during the test.

Each race combines speed, strategy, and survival in a hostile world, promising rich and competitive progression. The French voice cast includes Martial Le Minoux, Laura Blanc, Sylvain Agaesse, Jeanfrancois Kopf, and Valery Schatz.
