Marathon targets March 2026 release date

It's back on again.

Marathon is now targeting a March 2026 release, after being delayed indefinitely back in June of this year.

Back in June, Bungie said the delay was needed in order to “to empower the team to create the intense, high-stakes experience that a title like Marathon is built around.”

In a post on the PlayStation Blog earlier today, Bungie avoided the delay itself but did confirm that “Marathon releases in March 2026″ towards the end of the update.

The larger focus of today’s update was to showcase a new Bungie ViDoc, which is above.

“Today’s ViDoc shares a new look at Marathon’s gameplay and immersive sci-fi setting,” Bungie said. “The team also explores updates since Alpha, like improved visual fidelity, proximity chat, solo play, and a new Runner shell: Rook.”

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