Marathon 2: Durandal is the first sequel in the
Marathon series of
science fiction first-person shooter computer games from
Bungie Software. It was released on November 24, 1995. The game is mostly set on the fictional planet of Lh'owon, homeworld of the S'pht, and once again the player takes the role of a Security Officer from the
Marathon. This is the only game in the series to be officially released for
Windows 95 in addition to the
Apple Macintosh, and is the only one released or announced for the
Xbox 360. Unofficially, the open-source
Aleph One engine enables the game to be played on many other platforms. This is legal as Bungie released the original game materials to the public in 2005, and Aleph One can employ them unaltered.
