Bungie’s Marathon arrives on March 5
MarathonBungie’s long-awaited extraction shooter will arrive on March 5, the studio announced today. Alongside a final release date, Bungie shared a new gameplay trailer, as well as details about the game’s upcoming deluxe edition, which fans can pre-order today on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. All versions of the game will support cross-play, meaning you’ll be able to play with your friends no matter where they decide to purchase Marathon.
Sony, Bungie’s parent company, previously committed to releasing a version in March for Marathonbut stopped short of sharing an exact date. News of this date broke early Monday after Microsoft released the pre-order trailer you see above early. Sony had originally planned to release Marathon in September 2025, but delayed the game indefinitely in June of last year after a mixed reception to its alpha and an admission that Bungie had partially plagiarized some visual assets. It’s safe to say Marathon could decide the future of the studio. In November, Sony said Destiny 2 failed to meet its expectations and depreciated the value of the studio’s assets by $204 million. This happened after the company announced that it would take more direct control of Bungie.
