Bungie dropped a fresh ViDoc for Marathon and locked down a release window for their extraction shooter. The game hits shelves in March 2026 at forty bucks, which puts it between free-to-play trash and full AAA pricing. Sony's backing this one after multiple delays pushed it way past the original internal 2024 target.
The studio pitched Marathon as gunfight poker, where you decide how deep to push before bailing with your loot. Four zones range from beginner-friendly outer areas to the endgame Cryo Archive ship deck, which apparently features the gnarliest content and best rewards. Over 400 weapon mods exist alongside different shell types that let you build tank or stealth assassin loadouts. A special Rook mode lets newbies learn maps without risking their main inventory.
Progression ties into faction agents who hand out contracts, and the reputation grind unlocks permanent stat boosts that carry through each season. Bungie swears there's zero pay-to-win mechanics, and reward passes stick around forever instead of expiring like other live service games.
