During the recent Playstation Showcase event, and after many rumors about the return of an old classic title, the Bungie studio revealed its new project, the Marathon game that will be released on PlayStation and Xbox devices, and is a live service shooter that will only contain online multiplayer mode and there is no campaign mode in it or in the story.
Neither developer Bungie nor Sony have shared any new news related to this title since it was revealed via a short trailer or CGI, but it appears that the journalist Tom Henderson He has more new details related to this title which we will mention in the form of points below.
New details about the Marathon game
- Marathon is a 3-player first-person shooter.
- Very similar to Escape From Tarkov and other shooter titles.
- There will be the possibility of playing alone or with another person in duo, and as a trio of other players, but you will direct large teams in front of you, and you can be extracted again without having your team with you.
- The “O2” oxygen system is one of the game’s most controversial features or elements.
- All players will have a limited supply of oxygen which basically works by being tied to a match countdown timer, and once a player runs out of oxygen you will start losing health.
- The goal will be to “Extract” them before they run out of oxygen and health, but players can also find O2 canisters in a match or purchase them later for an exorbitant market price before heading into battle.
- Getting injured in a marathon game is related to the oxygen system, for example, being shot in the waist can quickly impair oxygen supply, with different effects depending on the type of injury.
- The player's screen will become blurry when hit.
- Your oxygen supply may cause an obstacle in your movement.
- There will be a variety of customization options and features, revivals can be faster, oxygen usage can be lower, movement speed in water, and many other abilities like night vision.
- The game features three different types of items: “Loot” which are the items or rewards that you can find or collect, “Implants” which are the built-in devices and the game’s improvement or customization system, and finally “Perks” which are a set of perks and advantages that can help you in the Play.
The main idea or objective of the Marathon game
- Choose your missions (to complete them in the game)
- Buy/choose your gear/perks/skills/equipment
- Join the server directly
- Search for loot / complete quests / explore and find secrets
- Extraction

In conclusion, we would like to remind our followers that the game does not yet have a release date, but it will be released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X | S and PC.
