Bungie's Marathon: Extraction Shooter Delayed But Set For March

Bungie's ambitious new project, Marathon, will be released on March 5, 2025, and will cost $39.99. This title represents Bungie's first entirely new game since Destiny 2 in 2017. It reimagines the studio's 1990s cult classic as a three-player squad-based PvPvE extraction shooter set in 2850.

The game experienced delays, originally planned for a September release. This postponement followed mixed player feedback from an alpha playtest, citing issues with the user interface and gameplay pacing. A plagiarism controversy surrounding in-game art assets also arose, though Bungie later announced a satisfactory resolution with the affected artist.
