About The Game
From the creators of Halo and Destiny...
Scavenge the lost colony of Tau Ceti IV in Bungie’s new team-based FPS extraction shooter. Choose your Runner, cybernetic mercenaries with unique abilities, as you battle rival teams and security forces for weapons and upgrades. Fill your vault, take on high-stakes challenges, and unravel the colony’s mysteries.
Grow in power & fill your vault:
Work together in crews of three to battle hostile AI security forces and rival Runner teams. Survive and your loot is yours to keep for future runs on Tau Ceti—or if you’re brave enough, a journey to the derelict Marathon ship that hangs above.
Become a Runner:
Choose from a roster of cybernetic mercenaries with unique abilities. Customize your playstyle with the weapons, implants, and equipment you collect on your runs. Every match is a chance to experiment, buildcraft, and come back stronger.
Welcome to Tau Ceti IV:
What once was a thriving colony is now a battleground for rival factions competing for power and fortune, hiring Runners to track down weapons, valuables, and the edge they need to win.
Fun and competitive at all skill levels:
Bungie’s best-in-class first person gunplay makes playing at every skill level satisfying. With multiple maps to choose from, you can sharpen your skills in starter areas, then challenge yourself in high-stakes zones and Ranked mode in season one.
Committed to fair play:
Cheaters don’t stop, so neither do we. We’ll continue to invest in robust anti-cheat and dedicated server support to keep your games competitive.
