Joe Ziegler, the director of the upcoming extraction-shooter Marathon, is confident that the genre has a huge potential for growth, largely due to the incredible success of sandboxes and battle royale games.
Currently, the gaming industry is actively discussing Bungie's upcoming shooter Marathon. The extraction shooter will be fully released on 23 September 2025 and it will be the first new game in a long time by the studio that gave us Halo and Destiny. And now it has become known how much time was spent on development.
After the long-awaited gameplay demonstration of Marathon, the new extraction shooter by Bungie, along with general enthusiasm, many players were quick to draw unfortunate parallels with the recent failure of Concord. The former Concord developer responded to this reaction by calling on the Reddit community to give the new game a chance and, just as importantly, to show empathy for the people working on it.
The closed alpha testing of the shooter Marathon will start on 23 April. And if you were worried that your PC would not be able to handle the game, we have good news for you.
After presenting the gameplay of the shooter Marathon, Bungie began to provide more and more details about what to expect from the game. And now there is information about the game running on Sony consoles.
With so many failing in the extraction shooter field and titans like Hunt Showdown constantly dominating, a natural question arises: why did Bungie decide to take a chance with its Marathon shooter? The game's game director Joe Ziegler revealed the team's vision of creating a unique experience in this challenging genre.
Bungie's upcoming sci-fi extraction shooter Marathon is not intended to replace Destiny. Moreover, the game director of the project openly states that Destiny players who prefer exclusively PvE content may not find anything interesting in the new game.
Marathon is scheduled for release on 23 September 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Bungie has announced that their upcoming PvP extraction shooter Marathon will not feature proximity chat. This decision was made due to concerns about potentially toxic player behaviour.
Immediately after Marathon's presentation, the shooter's authors launched registration for the game's closed alpha testing, but it is only for residents of the US and Canada, so players began to wonder when the game's testing will be more extensive, and we already have hints about it.
Bungie Studio has announced that their new PvP extraction shooter game Marathon will be released as a "premium" project, but at a price lower than the standard $70. According to reports, the game will cost $40.
Sony's long-awaited game will be out on Xbox immediately as well
Bungie's first major release after Sony's acquisition of the studio promises to be an important moment for both parties. The Marathon game is attracting more and more attention, and it is already known that it will have cross-save and cross-platform features. And will PC and Xbox players need to link their PSN accounts? No!
Famous insider Tom Henderson tweeted: "Told my girlfriend I was running a marathon later this year and she just went and signed me up for a gym."
In recent days, the gaming industry has been actively discussing Marathon, the upcoming shooter by Bungie, the creator of Halo and Destiny, and if you are also curious about what this Marathon is, the company has published an official description of the game in its press release.
