Bungie is putting an official date on Marathon<\/em> today, its delayed extraction shooter. The slick-looking shooter<\/a> from the makers of Halo <\/em>and Destiny<\/em> was originally set to release in September, but will now launch on March 4th<\/a>. Bungie will launch Marathon <\/em>on Xbox Series S \/ X, PS5, and PC, priced at $39.99.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Marathon <\/em>is set in a sci-fi universe in 2850, where players take on the role of a Runner to scavenge what\u2019s left behind. As a Runner, you fight in a crew of up to three players across a variety of zones and points of interest. Marathon<\/em> is a PvPvE environment, so players will be fighting creatures on planets as well as other players. If you die during a run, you\u2019ll drop your gear. But if you survive, your loot moves with you to future runs so you get more powerful gear and level up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Bungie\u2019s delay to Marathon means it is now launching months after ARC Raiders<\/em>, an extraction shooter from the makers of The Finals<\/em> that has consistently been in the top five most-played games on Steam since its launch in late October. Bungie had originally planned to launch Marathon <\/em>ahead of ARC Raiders<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
