MarathonGame

Become a Runner (a cybernetic mercenary) in Bungie’s new sci-fi PvP extraction shooter. Compete for survival, riches, implants, artifacts, and renown in a world of evolving, persistent zones. A massive ghost ship hangs in low orbit over a lost colony on Tau Ceti IV. The 30,000 souls who call this place home have disappeared without a trace. Strange signals hint at mysterious artifacts, long-dormant AI, and troves of untold riches. Takes place in the year 2850. After some controversy with stolen art assets, Bungie delayed Marathon indefinitely until 2026.

Sony are confident Marathon will release by March 2026 and that their live service transition is paying off
Sony remain confident that Bungie's live service shooter reboot "Marathon" will launch within their current fiscal year - that is, before March 31st 2026 - and are fairly sure they'll be able to share an exact release date this autumn. They've factored it into their financial forecasts, see.

As a long-time Bungie fan, the prospect of a brand-new Marathon game intrigued me, and despite some reservations about the upcoming extraction shooter, I can safely say that this latest Marathon reboot has the potential to be among the best of the genre. Outside of sharing the Marathon name and some key locations and themes from the ’90s originals, Bungie’s latest reboot is an entirely new beast that ditches its "Doom-inspired" chops for a multiplayer-focused extraction shooter experience in the v... A streamer played an hour of Marathon early before Bungie cut him off
The closed alpha for "Marathon" is soon due to roll out to players who signed up, meaning Bungie's colourful futuristic servers are warming up. Sadly, we weren't invited - the alpha is only open to North Americans. But, aha, something went awry today and the game became available to play early for those on Xbox. And one quick-witted player streamed a full hour of the game before the servers clamped shut once again. "Read more"
