Sony’s Bungie delays release of ‘Marathon’

Sony’s (SONY) Bungie, which previously developed games in the “Halo” and “Destiny” franchises, announced that it has made the decision to delay the release of its upcoming multiplayer shooter “Marathon” from its previously announced September 23, 2025 date. “The Alpha test created an opportunity for us to calibrate and focus the game on what will make it uniquely compelling-survival under pressure, mystery and lore around every corner, raid-like endgame challenges, and Bungie’s genre-defining FPS combat,” the studio said in a blog post. “We’re using this time to empower the team to create the intense, high-stakes experience that a title like Marathon is built around. This means deepening the relationship between the developers and the game’s most important voices: our players. Over the next few months, we’ll continue closed testing(including participants from the Alpha) to deploy gameplay updates and test new features as they come online.”
