After weeks of leaks and rumors, it’s now official. Marathon has confirmed its release date and Bungie has taken the opportunity to open pre-orders on all platforms, accompanied by a new video that serves as an introduction to their ambitious FPS.

The title will launch on March 5th on Xbox Series, PC, and PlayStation 5, putting an end to the uncertainty surrounding the project since its initial delay. Bungie, responsible for sagas like Halo and Destiny, is once again betting big on science fiction with a proposal focused on survival, exploration, and player-versus-player combat.

Marathon Sets Its Release Date and Opens Pre-Orders on Xbox Series, PC, and PS5

The new trailer reviews the game’s playable pillars and sets the action in Tau Ceti IV, a lost colony filled with abandoned technology, valuable relics, and constant dangers. Bungie encourages players to prepare to become Runners, explorers who must compete and survive in a hostile environment where every incursion counts.

The video also serves to reinforce the game’s identity as a extraction shooter, with an emphasis on mobility, equipment, and decision-making in each match. Following the recent material dedicated to the Runner Frames, this new advance helps to better understand the game’s approach and tone.

As for the price, Bungie is sticking to what’s already known: Marathon will cost €39.99 on all platforms, with no differences between Xbox, PC, or PS5. From today, it’s already possible to pre-order the game in digital format, pending the details of possible incentives or additional content linked to pre-ordering in the coming weeks.

Everything suggests that Bungie wants to make a strong impact in March, and this announcement clearly marks the beginning of the final stretch towards launch.
