Marathon release date set for 5 March

Following a leak... oops!

Following an accidental leak by Xbox, the Marathon release date has been officially announced and will occur on 5 March.

Marathon is, of course, the latest from Destiny and Destiny 2 studio, Bungie. The title was originally scheduled for a September 2025 release date before allegations of stolen art and a desire to improve core gameplay delayed the extraction shooter into this year.

“In Marathon, players scavenge the lost colony of Tau Ceti IV as a bio-cybernetic Runner while surviving against hostile security forces, rival Runners, and inhospitable environments to seek their fortune,” an accompanying press release summarised.

A new gameplay trailer was also released for the upcoming shooter; it can be found above.

The title will be available in both Standard and Deluxe editions for all available platforms, with each supporting cross-play and cross-save.

Marathon is now planned for a March 2026 release on Windows PC, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
