Excitedly speaking as a fan, I can confirm that the long-awaited Marathon by Bungie finally has a release date! Mark your calendars for September 23rd on PS5, because this highly anticipated shooter is set to bring excitement to the tail end of the year.

In addition to revealing details, the developer has shared insights about the gameplay of Marathon. As we already knew, it’s a team-oriented extraction shooter. Essentially, you parachute into a level, gather resources, and aim to escape unscathed while opponents try to find and eliminate you.

In this game, there are distinct characters, each with special talents, and you can tailor their playstyle according to your preferences. The weapons also boast individual upgrade paths, encouraging you to gather plenty of resources in each match, thereby carrying the advancement across various games.

For what it’s worth, the gunplay itself looks very Destiny 2 to us.
