Marathon release date set for September, closed alpha coming this month – Bungie's extraction shooter is not free-to-play but we don't have a price yet

Bungie's Marathon reboot is getting a closed beta later this month before it properly launches for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X on September 23 as a paid release, with full cross-play and cross-save functionality.

During Marathon's gameplay deep dive from today, the famed FPS studio behind the original Halo games and Destiny spilled the tea on how it's returning to the series that started it all. Unlike the originals from three decades ago, this Marathon is instead a multiplayer extraction shooter where teams of three Runners will jump in, loot the planet of Tau Ceti IV, and hopefully get out alive in order to keep all their fancy winnings.
