Alongside Haven Studios’ Fairgame$, Bungie’s extraction shooter Marathon was also missing during Sony’s latest State of Play. The latter noted that playtests would expand this year and even released character art for two Runners – codenames Thief and Stealth – but when can fans expect more information?
According to Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb, April may be the month. Speaking on the latest Game Mess Decides, he reported that Marathon was absent from State of Play since “They’re probably going to do their own thing.
“Bungie does their own thing usually for Destiny, they’re going to adopt that same ‘We’re talking to our audience’ strategy this year as well, so I think April. We’ll probably hear from them about Marathon, and it would just be its own thing separate from a State of Play.” How concrete these plans are and how much will be revealed is unknown.
However, if Bungie wants to get ahead of the next rumored PlayStation Showcase while leaving room for Destiny 2’s future content reveal (with Codename Apollo out in Summer), April would be fitting. Time will tell, so stay tuned for updates.
Last year saw rumors circulating about the “not great” sentiment around Marathon and how it could miss its internal 2025 release target. It’s slated for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
