We might now know the exact date on which the PlayStation-published Marathon will be released, and it's, somewhat ironically, thanks to what appears to be a pre-order trailer that was shared a little too early by Xbox.
Marathon, which was supposed to be released in 2025 but got pushed into 2026 for various reasons, was recently given a new "March 2026" launch window, but Bungie neglected to provide a specific date. Bungie still hasn't revealed that date, but a pre-order trailer for Marathon was discovered by Reddit user TheJuicebaba (thanks, VGC) suggests it will be here on March 5, 2026.
Perhaps earlier than some might have assumed, as the vague March window suggested Bungie might need most of the month, if not all of it, to have Marathon ready, but still release it before the end of the current financial year. We can't confirm whether the trailer was real for sure, of course, and it's also possible, if real, that it was an older version of the trailer with an outdated or placeholder release date.
The trailer has quickly been taken down, but if the release date is accurate, and Marathon is going to have a pre-order...
