Bungie, the renowned game developer behind Destiny and other successful titles, has been working on reviving its classic Marathon franchise for nearly three years. After a tumultuous development process, marked by a delayed release date and internal setbacks, Bungie has finally set a launch date for its new Marathon game.
The highly anticipated title is now expected to hit PS5, Windows, and Xbox Series X|S on March 5, six weeks earlier than previously announced. The game's Standard Edition will retail for $40, while the Deluxe Edition will cost $60 and include some digital rewards and cosmetics.
According to Bungie, the new Marathon is a "PvPvE survival extraction shooter" that combines exploration-based gameplay with fast-paced multiplayer combat. Players will be able to scavenge for gear and cosmetics in exploratory missions before joining up to two friends in battle against rival factions. A solo mode called "Rook" has also been announced, where players can drop into ongoing matches with minimal equipment.
Despite the long development process and internal challenges, Bungie is confident that its new Marathon game will receive significant attention from fans of the original trilogy. With a reputation for delivering high-quality games, Bungie's revival of Marathon is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated titles of the year.

omg i'm so hyped about marathon being back!!! 
i've been waiting for like 3 years and it feels good to finally know a launch date 
bungie is known for delivering amazing games and this one looks super promising 
the combo of exploration and multiplayer combat sounds insane! 
can't wait to try out the solo mode too, "rook" sounds so cool 
i'm all in on the deluxe edition, those digital rewards are gonna be sick 
I'm hyped but also kinda skeptical about this whole thing... I mean, it's been 3 years in the making and there were so many delays 
. What if they didn't get everything right? But at the same time, Bungie is known for their quality and they've got a loyal fanbase, so fingers crossed they'll deliver something amazing 
. I'm loving the idea of a PvPvE survival game tho, it sounds super fun 
! And a solo mode called "Rook" is a great touch - that's some next level gaming right there 
. $40 for the Standard Edition? Not bad, not bad at all 
. Can't wait to see how this all plays out! 
.

The Standard Edition is a decent price, but the Deluxe Edition seems worth it if you want to get in on some sick digital rewards and cosmetics 
The solo mode "Rook" sounds intriguing too, maybe we'll get to see some competitive play as well 
. Can't wait for March 5th to roll around!
. Think about it, Bungie's been working on this for years, and they've had their fair share of setbacks along the way. But you know what? It's kinda refreshing to see them push forward despite all the hurdles.
. But Marathon's revival is more than just a nostalgia trip - it's also an opportunity for Bungie to innovate and show us what they're capable of.
like, they've been working on it for years and stuff... maybe they were trying to make sure everything was just perfect? 
and then join up with your friends in multiplayer battles 
... and solo mode too, which is always a plus 
so yeah, fingers crossed it lives up to the hype 
. The game looks kinda cool, I guess... who doesn't love shooting stuff with friends? 
.
can't believe its gonna come out on march 5th!! just got my pre-order in and i'm so hyped to play rook solo mode sounds so intense!!
