Destiny 2’s latest update, v8.1.0, might have revealed that Bungie’s Marathon will start preorders early next year.
We could get more official looks at the game if the leak is correct.
As soon as the update dropped, data miners got to work, sifting through lines of code. One such line, dating Destiny 2’s next expansion, included the phrase “marathon.preorder” at the end.
Following Destiny 2’s update roadmap, after October 8’s Revenant update, the next update, Heresy, will drop February 10, 2025. If the datamined information is to be trusted, that is when Marathon preorders will open.
Interestingly, according to Forbes’ Paul Tassi’s reporting, Bungie might have been gunning for a controlled leak— it’s either them playing 4D chess, or data miners striking new information on their own.
With only five months until preorders, Bungie’s bound to start releasing more information, videos, and pictures of the game soon.
