It’s been almost 3 years now because Fate maker (and Sony subsidiary) Bungie officially revealed a revival of the storied Marathon FPS franchise. And it has actually had to do with 7 months given that the video game’s initial revealed release date of September 23, 2025 was pressed back forever after an apparently bad action to the video game’s very first Alpha test.

Today, in a post on the PlayStation Blog, Bungie exposed that the brand-new Marathon would lastly be striking PS5, Windows, and Xbox Series X|S on March 5, limiting the month-long March release window revealed back in December.

Unlike Fate 2which transitioned to a free-to-play design in 2019, the brand-new Marathon costs $ 40 in a Standard Edition or a $ 60 Deluxe Edition that consists of some digital benefits and cosmetics. That mirrors the prices of the rather comparable Arc Raiderswhich just recently struck 12 million sales in less than 12 weeks.

A brand-new type of Marathon

Unlike the initial Marathon trilogy on the ’90s Macintosh– which carefully followed on the single-player project passages and deathmatch multiplayer of the initial Doom— the brand-new Marathon is referred to as a “PvPvE survival extraction shooter.” That implies gameplay based around checking out unique zones and scavenging for cosmetics and equipment upgrades in exploratory objectives alone or with as much as 2 buddies, then seeing those objectives “get into busy PvP fight” at a minute’s notification, according to the video game’s main description.
