Bungie has revealed more details about its long-awaited extraction shooter revival, Marathon. The studio confirmed an early 2026 launch window and a $39.99 / RM163.30 price point. They shared the news through a 23-minute “Vision of Marathon” ViDoc on YouTube. The video gives fans a closer look at the PvPvE gameplay, world design, and upcoming features.
Release Window and Pricing Details
Originally, Marathon was scheduled for September 23, 2025. However, player feedback during the April alpha test prompted Bungie to delay the release. Now, the studio aims for March 2026. The game will launch on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Although Bungie has not revealed the exact date, players can expect updates as development continues.
Bungie also announced a $39.99 / RM163.30 base price, putting it in line with other extraction shooters like Arc Raiders. Moreover, players will receive all gameplay updates, including new maps, Runner shells, and events. The studio confirmed that reward passes will never expire. Importantly, they emphasized that spending money will not give any player a competitive advantage, ensuring fair play for everyone.
Gameplay Updates and Features
The ViDoc highlighted fresh gameplay from Tau Ceti IV, showcasing Marathon’s dark sci-fi world. Bungie added dynamic weather, improved environmental storytelling, and higher visual fidelity. The studio also updated the UI for smoother navigation and better readability.
Additionally, Bungie introduced new features like proximity chat, a solo queue option, and a Rook shell with a limited loadout. These changes aim to make scavenging and combat more tense and strategic. Players will need careful planning and skill to survive each encounter.
Looking Ahead
Bungie plans to share more updates in the coming months, with the next one expected in January 2026. They will also provide a full roadmap detailing seasonal content, events, and new gameplay features.
With community-driven development and refined mechanics, Marathon promises a tense and immersive experience for both longtime Bungie fans and newcomers alike. For more updates on the game, follow their X account.
