Bungie Reveals ‘Marathon’ Release Info, Price, And It Looks Way Better
- Bungie revealed in a surprise vidoc that went live on Monday that Marathon's release is set for March 2026.
- After an earlier delay from September 23, 2025, Marathon faced an 'extremely troubled' reveal earlier this year, prompting Bungie to run closed, NDA-ed alpha and beta tests.
- Developers highlighted enemy and weapon updates such as beefed-up UESC troops meant to feel almost `possessed`, 400 weapon mods, gold mods turning guns into `exotics`, and four maps at launch including UESC Marathon.
- Bungie confirmed the game's monetization by saying Marathon will not be free-to-play, purchases grant full access with non-expiring Rewards Passes, and solo playlist with proximity chat plus Rook mode enhance player experience.
- The timing positions Marathon to hit Sony's fiscal-year target, with an ad campaign restart three months from now and future content including hidden lore and a seventh vault.
