Bungie’s slick-looking Marathon shooter arrives on September 23rd

Summary

68% Informative

Marathon is set in a sci-fi universe in 2850 , in the remains of Tau Ceti IV , which Bungie describes as a lost colony whose inhabitants disappeared without a trace.

Rival factions have hired Runners to scavenge for what’s left behind, and anyone who signs up to be a Runner has given up their human form for a biosynthetic shell with unique abilities and stats.

As a Runner , you fight in a crew of up to three players across a variety of zones and points of interest.

The game will launch on September 23rd on PS5, Xbox Series S / X, and PC with full cross-play and cross-save.

Marathon alpha test will be an opportunity for Bungie to show the world how its latest game will stand out.

The big question left for Bungie is how much Marathon will cost.

It’s not a free-to-play game, but the studio isn’t ready to talk about exact pricing just yet.
