Rumor: Sony to sell Marathon for $40 — players say the shooter is already dead at that price

A dataminer has also uncovered the list of weapons slated to be available at launch.

Renowned dataminer Colony Deaks has obtained fresh information about Bungie’s extraction shooter, Marathon. The newly surfaced details cover the game’s pricing structure, its seasonal pass, and the complete weapon lineup at launch.

According to Colony Deaks, Marathon will ship in two editions. The Standard Edition is expected to be priced at $40 — a figure that has been circulating online for some time. The Deluxe Edition, which includes various bonuses, appears to be around $60.

Bungie is also reportedly planning a $10 seasonal pass for the game, which will contain only cosmetic items.

Armory:

• Assault Rifles: Overrun AR, V75 Scar, Impact HAR, M77 AR
• Light Machine Guns: Retaliator LMG, Demolition HMG, Conquest LMG
• Semi-Automatic Rifles: Hardline PR, Repeater PR, V66 Lookout, B33 Volley Rifle, Twin Tap HBR, Stryder M1T
• Sniper Rifles: Outland, V99 Channel Rifle, Longshot
• Pistols / Sidearms: V11 Punch, CE Tactical Sidearm, Magnum MC
• Railguns: V00 Zeus RG, Ares RG
• Shotguns: Misriah 2442, V85 Circuit Breaker, WSTR Combat Shotgun
• Submachine Guns: Copperhead RF, Bully SMG, V22 Volt Thrower, BRRT

Journalist and insider Tom Henderson argues that Marathon would struggle to attract an audience even if it were free; priced at $40 as a paid release, he thinks it stands no chance.
