Bungie, the studio behind the popular Destiny franchise, has announced that its upcoming extraction shooter, Marathon, will now launch in March 2026, a delay from the originally planned September release. The game will be priced at $39.99 and will include a roadmap of free gameplay updates throughout the year, as detailed in a blog post.
Following feedback from an alpha test in June, Bungie has worked to enhance Marathon by introducing features like proximity chat and solo queue. The studio has emphasized its commitment to iterating on the game based on feedback from a dedicated community of players since the initial alpha playtest in April.
To address concerns about the fear of missing out (FOMO), Marathon’s ‘Rewards Passes’ will have no expiration date, allowing players to purchase previous passes. Bungie has also stated its dedication to upholding competitive integrity in the game, ensuring that success will not be determined by the amount of money spent.
