- Marathon will be a premium-priced game at $40, instead of a full-priced release.
- There will also be a Deluxe Edition with some additional perks, and it will cost $60.
- Season Pass will cost $10 and won’t affect the game progression as it’s cosmetic only.
Marathon, even before its release, has been drowning in controversies. Since Destiny 2’s quality went down, fans were speculating a similar trend for the game. It doesn’t help that its early previews were quite negative as well.
A new leak has emerged, revealing that Marathon will be a premium-priced game at $40, instead of a full-priced $70. There will be 2 editions of the game: the base and the Deluxe will likely cost $60.
Why it matters: With Bungie’s reputation already going downhill, fans aren’t expecting much from Marathon either. If Destiny 2 were in a better spot right now, that might’ve helped keep the newer title’s price lower.
Reliable Destiny data miner, Colony Deaks, has revealed a bunch of new stuff about Marathon, including its base $40 price and its weapons. The pre-order bonus will provide various skins and cosmetics.
Like most other live service titles, it will include a $10 season pass, but it won’t affect the gameplay and will be cosmetic items only. The Deluxe edition will provide $30 worth of season pass tokens, but their purpose is unknown for now.
However, based on the studio’s current reputation, a free-to-play game would’ve made more sense. It could follow a similar cycle as Destiny, and if it’s successful enough, Bungie could release expansions down the line.
While this could most likely be true, take this with a grain of salt, as Bungie has yet to confirm. Marathon is currently slated for a 2026 release, as its release reportedly slipped after the negative impressions.
