"But today, in a post on the PlayStation Blog, Bungie revealed that the new Marathon would finally be hitting PS5, Windows, and Xbox Series X|S on March 5, narrowing down the month-long March release window announced back in December. Unlike Destiny 2, which transitioned to a free-to-play model in 2019, the new Marathon sells for $40 in a Standard Edition or a $60 Deluxe Edition that includes some digital rewards and cosmetics."
"Unlike the original Marathon trilogy on the '90s Macintosh-which closely followed on the single-player campaign corridors and deathmatch multiplayer of the original Doom-the new Marathon is described as a "PvPvE survival extraction shooter." That means gameplay based around exploring distinct zones and scavenging for cosmetics and gear upgrades in exploratory missions alone or with up to two friends, then seeing those missions "break into fast-paced PvP combat" at a moment's notice, according to the game's official description."
Nearly three years after Bungie formally announced a revival of the Marathon franchise, the game's original September 23, 2025 release date was pushed back indefinitely following a reportedly poor Alpha response. Bungie set a new release date of March 5 for PS5, Windows, and Xbox Series X|S, narrowing a previously announced March window. The game sells for $40 (Standard) or $60 (Deluxe) with digital rewards and cosmetics, contrasting with Destiny 2's free-to-play model. The title is described as a PvPvE survival extraction shooter focused on exploring zones, scavenging cosmetics and gear upgrades, playing solo or with up to two friends, and shifting into fast-paced PvP combat at a moment's notice.
