Bungie has confirmed that its highly anticipated game, Marathon, will be released on March 5. This title, which represents a shift towards a darker narrative in the science fiction genre, has been produced as an extraction shooter, significantly differentiating itself from the company’s other successes, such as Destiny and Halo. The release date was revealed through a cinematic trailer that sets the game’s dark tone, promising an immersive experience for players.
Voice actors you have heard before
Marathon features a remarkable voice cast, including well-known actors from the video game industry. Among them is Ben Starr, known for his portrayal of Verso in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, as well as his work in Final Fantasy 16 and Hades 2. Starr has been awarded two Golden Joystick awards and has received multiple nominations at the Game Awards, highlighting his prestige in the industry.
Likewise, the voice of Karlach in Baldur’s Gate 3, Samantha Béart, will be part of the cast, as will Neil Newbon and Tracy Wiles, who play Astarion and Jaheira in the same game. However, one of the most notable names is Elias Toufexis, famous for his role as Adam Jensen in Deus Ex. Although it has not been confirmed what specific roles these actors will play in Marathon or the extent of their participation, their inclusion generates expectations among fans.
The game is now available for users to add to their wishlist on Steam, reflecting the anticipation surrounding this new project from Bungie. With its differentiated approach and a voice cast full of talent, Marathon is set to capture the attention of players when it launches in March.
