传闻：索尼和Bungie计划以40美元出售《马拉松》

2023年5月，Bungie公布了科幻主题多人在线对战游戏《马拉松》。目前这款游戏正处于内部测试阶段，并未公布具体的上市日期。游戏在推出时将支持Xbox Series X | S、PlayStation 5以及PC平台。

据消息，在另一款多人在线游戏《Concord》项目遭遇挫折之后，索尼与Bungie就《马拉松》的发行模式进行了探讨。《游戏邮报》采访了Bungie工作室的相关代表，他们透露公司正在考虑以40美元的价格出售该游戏，并且游戏中会包含微交易功能。

《游戏邮报》还指出，《马拉松》并不是像《守望先锋》或《Valorant》那样的“英雄中心”游戏。其玩法更接近于《逃离塔科夫》，但加入了Bungie特有的元素。目前游戏中仅有两张可玩地图，但不清楚最终版本中会有多少张地图。

目前，《马拉松》正在由索尼内部团队及受邀的职业电竞选手和直播主进行试玩。尽管大多数反馈都是正面的，但据《游戏邮报》的消息源称，许多体验过该游戏的人认为，“这款射击游戏的价值并不足以支撑40美元的售价。”

In May 2023, Bungie, now part of Sony, unveiled the sci-fi PVP shooter Marathon. The game is currently undergoing internal testing and does not currently have a planned release date. However, it is known that it will be available for Xbox Series X | S, Playstation 5, and PC at launch. It has emerged that Sony and Bungie have discussed the Marathon distribution model amid the failure of another multiplayer project, the game Concord. The Game Post spoke with representatives of the Bungie studio, who said that the publisher is currently considering a model for distributing the Marathon game for $40 with the presence of microtransactions in the game itself. The Game Post’s sources also say that Marathon is not “hero-focused” like Overwatch or Valorant. They also said that, unlike other hero shooters, the gameplay structure is similar to Escape from Tarkov, but with “Bungie twists.” The studio currently has only two playable maps, but it is unknown how many are planned for release. Marathon itself is currently being playtested by Sony’s internal teams, as well as by invited eSports athletes and streamers. Reviews of the game have been mostly positive, but The Game Post’s sources say that many who have tried the game agree that “the shooter isn’t worth the $40 price tag.” It is worth saying that all the information provided has not been officially confirmed by Bungie studio or the Sony team.
