"After several silent months, Bungie has opened for players interested in participating in a closed technical test of applications Marathon. It's an invitation-only limited-time test, lasting just October 22-28. Those who are chosen to participate can only do so under a non-disclosure agreement, so don't expect to hear any juicy details or insights about the game's status later this month once the event wraps."
"While it's not a new public look at Marathon, news of a fresh round of testing marks a small step forward for this team extraction shooter. The game was originally for a September 2025 release, but in June, Bungie said it was indefinitely delaying the project. The pause was meant to give the studio time to address player feedback from the closed alpha test it conducted earlier in the spring."
"Whenever it does arrive, Marathon will be Bungie's first new title since the company introduced Destiny 2 back in 2017. Before the delay, the studio had also drawn raised eyebrows with Marathon after the alpha build used stolen artwork , which has been a issue for Bungie."
Bungie opened applications for an invitation-only closed technical test of Marathon scheduled October 22–28. Participants will be bound by non-disclosure agreements and cannot share details after the event. The limited test represents a small step forward for the team extraction shooter after several silent months. Marathon was originally slated for September 2025 but was delayed indefinitely in June so Bungie could address player feedback from a closed alpha conducted earlier in the spring. The phrasing of the new test suggests a new launch window remains distant. Marathon will be Bungie’s first new title since Destiny 2, and earlier alpha builds drew criticism for using stolen artwork.
