They are being honest at Bungie: not even they know how much Marathon will cost

The highly anticipated reboot of Marathon by Bungie has revealed key details about its design and gameplay mechanics. This title will be a hero-based extraction shooter, similar to Escape From Tarkov, emphasizing gameplay that includes skills, economy, and a range of weapon modifications that will appeal to fans of Destiny’s character building. Additionally, features such as proximity chat, solo play, and cosmetics have been confirmed, although many questions remain unanswered.

How much will Marathon cost? Not even Bungie knows

One of the most confusing aspects so far has been the cost of the game. During the recent official presentation, Bungie was reserved when addressing the topic of price. Although it was mentioned that Marathon will be a premium title, it was clarified that it will not be at full price, which has generated confusion among fans. This suggests that, while it is unlikely to cost 70 euros, the exact price has not yet been defined and could be in a considerably lower range.

Bungie developers have indicated that they are considering player feedback to determine the final price. In a recent interview, game director Joe Ziegler commented that each player has a different perception of what constitutes a fair price, which reinforces the idea that the team is handling this decision carefully.

With Sony showing high expectations for the financial performance of Marathon, it is clear that the company is betting big on this title. However, setting a price that does not deter players before its release is a challenge. Given that the multiplayer shooter market is competitive, overpricing could negatively impact the perceived value of the game.
