The assistant director of the upcoming Bungie titleMarathonrecently addressed the game’s price, explaining that the development team is currently discussing the hot topic. Originally announced in 2023,Marathonis an upcoming first-person extraction shooter, and while many gamers are interested in the title, some are quite concerned about its possible price tag.
Bungie has revealed many interesting details aboutMarathonin the last few weeks, including more gameplay information and a short video showcasing the game’s setting. However, the price of the gameis still unknown. WhileMarathonis being marketed as a premium titleand not a free-to-play game, Bungie has refused to confirm a price, explaining thatMarathonwill not be a full-priced game, but not giving any other details.
Now, the game’s assistant director Del Chafe has addressed the pricing questions in a recent interview with the streamer DrLupo. Del Chafe acknowledged the discussion regardingMarathon’s price, but reaffirmed that he was unable to “go into details” at the moment, saying that the team will “have conversations about this” and that “a bunch of other people are going to have really good feedback about it.” While the developer reiterated that Bungie’s goal is to build a community around the game, it’s still impossible to know how muchMarathonwill cost, and Chafe’s vagueness could imply that not even Bungie has decided on it yet. WithMarathonreleasing on September 23, there’s still plenty of time to clarify the price, though players are eager to know sooner rather than later.
