During a special event, Bungie officially announced the release date of its highly anticipated new game, Marathon. This sci-fi-themed first-person extraction shooter will be released on September 23, 2025.
In addition, a closed alpha test is scheduled to begin soon on April 23 (Ordibehesht 3), giving select players an early hands-on experience.
A New Direction from the Creators of Halo and Destiny
If you’re a fan of shooter games, you’re probably familiar with Bungie—the studio behind legendary franchises like Halo and Destiny. Now, Bungie is back with a bold new project. Marathon aims to redefine the extraction shooter genre with a fast-paced, tactical PvP experience.
Visually Striking, Tactical, and Team-Oriented
Marathon stands out with its vibrant visuals, high-end graphics, and rapid, strategic gameplay. The game emphasizes PvP combat, where players face off in competitive matches across various maps. The objective is to collect valuable loot, complete missions, and escape the battlefield successfully.
A Reimagining of a Classic Game
Interestingly, this new version of Marathon is a modern reimagining of Bungie’s original 1994 title of the same name. However, the classic version wasn’t an extraction shooter. With this full redesign, Bungie stays true to the roots of the franchise while delivering a fresh and modern gameplay experience.
Why Marathon Could Be a Standout Shooter in 2025
If you’re searching for a tactical, fast-paced shooter with a sci-fi edge, Marathon is shaping up to be one of the most exciting titles of 2025. With Bungie’s expertise and vision, this game could be a game-changer for fans of the genre.
