Bungie's Marathon extraction shooter will launch on March 5, 2026, for PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-orders are live for both Standard and Deluxe editions, granting early cosmetic rewards. A new trailer introduces Gantry, an agent of the MIDA faction, highlighting the game's narrative-driven faction contracts.

The game's core loop involves completing missions for six distinct factions to uncover the mysteries of the Tau Ceti colony. Players will collect audio logs and other narrative items to fill their Codex, building a living world through exploration and faction loyalty. This marks Bungie's first major new IP since Destiny.

A full English voice cast has been announced, featuring notable actors like Roger Clark and Elias Toufexis. The title will support full cross-play and cross-save at launch. An open preview weekend is planned, though details remain unannounced, offering a first look at the final gameplay loop before release.
