One of the biggest surprises following Bungie’s reveal of Marathon is that it won’t be a free-to-play title. Though it’s not full-priced either, the developer won’t reveal more details until later this Summer. However, sources speaking to Paul Tassi of Forbes have alleged it’s $40. The price point isn’t surprising since it’s the same as Helldivers 2 and Concord. Tassi also noted that Marathon isn’t currently planned to go free-to-play. However, those who want to try it out before launch will likely get their chance in August with an alleged open beta. After the beta, players can reportedly pre-order the title and its “various editions.” Is it possible the price will be revealed with the open beta announcement? We’ll have to wait and see. Marathon launches on September 23rd, with its closed alpha starting on April 23rd. Bungie recently lifted the latter’s non-disclosure agreement to allegedly “shift the narrative” and encourage an open dialogue with its community. Check out the intro cinematic here, and stay tuned for updates.
