Marathon finally became available to preorder after a lengthy development cycle and fans immediately began noticing a strange issue involving Bungie's other game, Destiny 2. It's been a long road for Marathon after being officially revealed back in 2023 as company layoffs and various controversies have served to hinder the game's development. However, after all of that, Marathon is finally approaching its launch date, offering a new experience for longtime Bungie fans.
Following a lengthy period of silence, Marathon resurfaced last year with a gameplay showcase and an alpha test, though unfortunately, both were met with less fanfare than expected. The feedback ultimately led to Bungie delaying Marathon out of 2025 entirely so it could make improvements to core gameplay components like the AI, combat, visuals, and social experiences. The studio also had to resolve an issue with plagiarized art, which only served to further sour public perception. The time away appears to have done the game a lot of good, along with a resolution to the plagiarism controversy, Marathon is now on track for release very soon.
