On April 12, Bungie revealed the first official gameplay trailer for Marathon. Made by the creators of Destiny and Halo, Marathon is Bungie's first brand-new IP in over a decade. Therefore, the excitement is big.
It's fair to say Marathon's reveal has quickly stolen the show of the FPS community. While the Marathon Showcase was only a one-hour long event, the footage revealed, the premise, and the Runners and their classes already feel thrilling.
However, while Bungie seems to have done a great job, Marathon won't be fully released until September 23, 2025. Fortunately, some lucky players will have the chance to try out Marathon in the Closed Alpha Test, which will open on April 23 and close on May 4.
Logically, with players being so excited about Marathon's release, it's time to focus on what's next. While the game won't come out until September 23, players already wonder what Marathon's price will be.
Although no official answer has been given yet, Marathon's official X profile (former Twitter) has defined the game as a "premium title."
While this description has made some players think Marathon will be USD$70, Bungie has already denied this information and added that Marathon will be a "full-priced title." Additionally, Bungie stated that more details will be announced during the summer.
Considering Bungie's response to the rumors about the game potentially being listed for USD$70, and after stating that "Marathon will be a premium title" we don't expect Marathon to be a free-to-play game. However, we will update this article as soon as more information is available.
If you're a fan of sci-fi and survival games, Marathon may be your new favorite title. The game's futuristic looks are good enough to catch the eye of every FPS lover. With Runners having their own class abilities, a big number of weapons, and many more, Marathon seems to have the potential to end the year with a bang.
