Bungie’s new game, Marathon, now has a confirmed release date of March 5, 2026. The game, described as an extraction shooter akin to ARC Raiders and Escape from Tarkov, was previously set for a vague March launch.
The release date reveal was made through a pre-order trailer showcasing some gameplay elements. Interested players can now pre-order Marathon for £34.99 in the UK, prompting discussions about the game’s potential longevity.
Initial feedback from the gaming community seems positive, with many expressing excitement about the unique art style and gameplay features of Marathon. Comparisons to successful titles like ARC Raiders and Helldivers 2 have raised hopes for the game’s success.
Despite concerns about the price tag, Marathon quickly climbed the Steam best-seller charts shortly after its release, a promising sign for its future. In contrast, previous titles like Concord struggled to gain traction upon their launch.
To further engage players, Bungie plans to host a free preview weekend for Marathon before its official release, allowing gamers to experience the game firsthand. While the exact date for this event is yet to be announced, it is anticipated to take place in February.
Interested players have the option to pre-order three different versions of Marathon, including the base game for £34.99, a Deluxe Edition for £49.99 with additional cosmetic items, and a Collector’s Edition priced at £164.99, featuring exclusive physical and digital rewards.
