The Marathon DualSense controller has a very distinctive aesthetic that ties into the game's sci-fi themes and graphic design. Created in close collaboration with the team at Bungie, the studio says it aimed to make the peripheral look like something that could naturally exist alongside other objects in Marathon.

The end result is a DualSense controller full of clean lines, purposeful markings, and vivid accents that has a futuristic look.

Marathon will launch on March 5, 2026. The game was originally scheduled to be released on September 23, 2025, but was delayed so Bungie could spend more time fine-tuning the game and addressing feedback from players who participated in early alpha versions.

In the lead up to its release on March 5, Bungie has revealed the full voice cast for Marathon--and it is stacked. Featuring fan-favorites from recent hits like Baldur's Gate 3 and Clair Obscur, TV sci-fi stars, and other notable gaming voices, Bungie is clearly going all-in on Marathon's voice acting.

In a blog post, Bungie revealed the 33 names that make up the English voice cast for Marathon, many of them instantly recognisable for fans of games and sci-fi. The list includes the voices of some of our favorite Baldur's Gate 3 companions including Jennifer English (Shadowheart), Neil Newbon (Astarion), Samantha Béart (Karlach), and Tracy Wiles (Jaheira). Also from the realm of RPGs are Ben Starr and Rich Keeble, who lent their voices to Verso and Monoco respectively in Clair Obscur.

Bungie announced this week that its new extraction shooter Marathon will release on March 5, and also revealed some other important pre-release information--including a set of updated system requirements.

While Bungie released PC specs for Marathon ahead of the game's first closed alpha last year, it only gave the minimum system requirements. Those haven't changed ahead of Marathon's full release, but we now also have a set of recommended specs to size up against.

Marathon PC SpecsMinimum

• Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
• OS: Windows 10 64-bit (latest Service Pack)
• Processor: Intel Core i5-6600 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4 GB) / AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT (4 GB) / Intel Arc A580 (8 GB, with ReBAR on)
• DirectX: Version 12
• Network: Broadband Internet connection

Recommended

• Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
• OS: Windows 10 64-bit (latest Service Pack)
• Processor: Intel Core i5-10400 / AMD Ryzen 5 3500
• Memory: 16 GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 2060 (6 GB) / AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (8 GB) / Intel Arc A770 (16 GB, with ReBAR on)
• DirectX: Version 12
• Network: Broadband Internet connection

While the current set of specs doesn't specify a target frame rate or resolution, it shouldn't be hard for most decent rigs to get a good experience out of Marathon. With reasonable minimum specs, even those with older or less powerful PCs should be able to manage the game on lower settings, too. The specs currently don't say how much system storage will be required to install Marathon, another detail which will likely come closer to release.

After years out of the Hollywood spotlight, The Mummy and The Whale actor Brendan Fraser has made a huge comeback. The actor has new film roles lined up, but right now, his most pressing concern is avoiding getting steamrolled by the notorious Lynel mini-bosses in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

In an interview, Fraser was asked whether he was playing any video games, and he explained that he was "still stuck" on the critically acclaimed 2017 Zelda game. "I want to know how to get better weapons without getting my ass kicked by all the Lynels," Fraser said to IGN, while also lamenting that there simply aren't enough bomb-flowers in the game. While his interviewer suggested he consult online guides, Fraser responded that he was looking to beat the game the old-fashioned way, without relying on walkthroughs.

The next film that Fraser will appear in, Pressure, will see him portray Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower, one of the key leaders of the Allied forces during World War 2 and the 34th US President who served from 1953-61. The actor also announced last year that he would reprise his role as Rick O'Connell in the fourth Mummy movie.

Marvel Rivals introduced an upgrade to its hero proficiency system last week, allowing players to earn new rewards. Many of these rewards--including the brag-worthy Lord icons--require a considerable amount of grinding to achieve, which has led to the rise of "Lord farming" amongst the playerbase.

Essentially, players aren't moving after they spawn into a match, as they spam their abilities to earn proficiency points safely. This has led to some very one-sided matches, and developer NetEase says it'll address this problem in a future update. There's no date yet for when this update will go live, but players can expect some severe penalties if they're caught farming stats this way.

"Recently, we've noticed that some players are exploiting matches by remaining stationary and repeatedly farming stats to gain hero proficiency points," NetEase wrote online. "This behavior disrupts normal gameplay and seriously affects the match experience of other players. To address this, we are planning to introduce a combat behavior detection system. Players found engaging in such behavior may face penalties including, but not limited to: warnings, short-term suspensions, long-term suspensions, or permanent account bans. We ask all players to help us maintain a fair and healthy game environment."

Bungie's long in development extraction shooter, Marathon, will launch on March 5, a new gameplay trailer has revealed ahead of preorders opening. It will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC and cost $40.

The trailer introduces players again to Tau Ceti IV, a colony that you, playing as runners, will infiltrate to dispatch armed forces and extract with valuable gear. You'll make use of a variety of Runner Shells that give you different abilities and perks, defining your role in a party or giving you a choice over how to build if you're planning to play solo. The art style remains as striking as ever, with Bungie's signature gunplay being showcased in the action below.

Marathon was initially scheduled to launch on September 23, 2025 before being indefinitely delayed following a series of public tests that drew criticisms over the game's mechanics. Bungie noted key areas that it planned to improve with more development time, namely the game's survival elements, its lore and world building, and better social experiences for solo and duos players.
