The release date for the game Marathon is now officially set for March 5th. The developer, Bungie, has started to share more details about this new game. It is a shooter where players fight against each other and computer-controlled enemies. One of the most interesting pieces of information is the long list of voice actors who will be in the game. This list includes many famous names like Jennifer English and Ben Starr. It looks like a collection of the best talent in video game acting right now.
So far, Bungie has confirmed that 30 actors will be part of the English voice cast for the game’s launch. However, they have not yet said which characters these actors will play. Jennifer English is one of them. She recently won an award for her role as Maelle in the game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. She is joined by other actors from that same game, including Ben Starr and Tracy Wiles. Tracy Wiles played the Paintress in Expedition 33 and also voiced Jaheira in Baldur’s Gate 3. She is not the only one from Baldur’s Gate 3 in this cast. Neil Newbon, who played Astarion, and Samantha Béart, who played Karlach, are also part of the team.

The path to releasing Marathon has not been easy for Bungie. The game has faced several challenges since it was first shown to the public in 2023. There have been changes in the leadership team. The project also dealt with legal issues and a controversy regarding artwork that was used without permission. The game was originally scheduled to launch on September 23rd of last year. However, Bungie decided to delay the release. This decision came after the initial reveal and a test version of the game received mixed reactions from fans. Now, the company has confirmed that the game will finally be available on March 5th. It will be released for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and Steam. Players will be able to choose from standard, deluxe, and collector’s editions.
