Bungie has finally shared new information about Marathon, easing fan curiosity after months of silence. Starting October 22, players in North America and Europe will have a chance to sign up for a Closed Technical Test, where they can experience some early gameplay.
Last year, reports suggested Marathon would have a price around $40, which Bungie recently confirmed. Unlike many games priced at $60 or $70, Marathon aims to offer an appealing alternative for players.
The latest leaks reveal more about Marathon’s pricing, editions, and season pass content, shared by a reputable source, Colony Deaks. This includes information we’ve confirmed from other sources.
The base price is expected to be about $40, while a Deluxe Edition may cost around $60. The Deluxe pack will likely come with $30 worth of “season pass tokens” — details on their in-game function are still unclear. The Season Pass itself is rumored to be $10 and will focus on cosmetic content.
For players who pre-order, bonuses are also included. Destiny 2 players will receive thematic items—like a ship and Ghost—while Marathon pre-order bonuses may feature a pink pistol skin, charm, emblem, and profile background. Interestingly, a Marathon-themed item was discovered in Destiny 2’s game files earlier this year, suggesting a crossover connection.
Now, let’s talk weapons. Leaks suggest Marathon may launch with 28 different weapons divided into various types, such as:
- 4 Auto Rifles
- 3 LMGs
- 6 Precision Rifles
- 3 Pistols
- 3 Snipers
- 4 SMGs
- 3 Shotguns
These details reflect the excitement surrounding Marathon and how Bungie is working to attract players in a competitive gaming market. According to the latest surveys from industry analysts, around 70% of gamers express interest in titles that offer affordable pricing alongside rich content.
While the weapon details are not officially confirmed, Colony Deaks has a strong track record of accurate leaks, enhancing the credibility of this information. Bungie plans to release more updates after the Closed Technical Test.
