You ever just, like, get hit with news that makes you go, “Huh, guess I’m marking my calendar for two years from now”? That’s kinda what happened when Bungie decided to drop some juicy deets on their upcoming game, Marathon. I mean, they really yanked back the curtain on what this extraction shooter is all about, and my brain immediately went, “Oh hey, that’s gonna drop on the Xbox Series X/S on September 23, 2025.” And yeah, 2025. Where will we all even be then? Probably still getting used to this whole [insert latest tech craze here], I bet.
So Marathon, right? In this game, you get to choose a Runner. They’re not just any ol’ runners; think cybernetic mercenaries with nifty skills. You team up with a couple pals, making it a cozy trio. Then, you dive into these zones — battling AI security dudes, which I assume kinda look like your nightmare vision of a future dystopia, and other Runner teams. You loot, collect gadgets, and… well, hopefully not get yourself obliterated because whatever you snag? That’s your treasure for future escapades. Unless you pull a lone wolf move. Solo play, they say. Bravery or madness? Jury’s out.
Anyway, there’s this teaser video floating around and a longer, meatier gameplay trailer, both doing the rounds online. Caught a glimpse, and I can’t lie, feels like they’ve got some mojo going here. Marathon could be shaping up to be pretty slick.
But the 2025 launch date, that’s kinda far off. Crazy to think about something now that’s still a couple of calendars away, right? They have a Closed Alpha happening April 23rd for those itching to get in early. Sounds exclusive, doesn’t it? Wanna join? Better cozy up to their official Marathon Discord and cross your fingers. Discord and gamers: name a more iconic duo.
So what’s the vibe here? Are we excited, indifferent, or just mildly curious about this whole Marathon adventure? Let me know. Because honestly, I’m curious to see if y’all are seeing the spark that maybe I am. Or maybe it’s just the second cup of coffee talking.
