Bungie reveals Marathon unlock times and seasonal roadmap

Bungie has a big week ahead with its first new shooter in a decade, Marathon, launching. The game has managed to secure one of the top spots on Steam's best-selling games list over the past week. Now with many pre-orders in, Bungie has revealed the global unlock times for the game, alongside the first details about post-launch content.

Marathon will launch on March 5th at 6PM GMT. In the US, that means 10am PST and 1pm EST, or 7PM for those in central Europe. If you are over in Australia, the game unlocks at 5AM on Friday morning.

As with any live-service multiplayer game, launch is just the beginning. Bungie has shared some details on its post-launch content plans for Marathon. The first two seasons are already locked in, with Season 1 beginning on launch day, offering six factions, six runner shells, 28 weapons, a selection of weapon mods, and three starting zones. Bungie will improve on this in Season 2 with more loot.

While story isn't the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to PvP games, there will be story content within Marathon. Bungie will flesh out the lore through faction storylines and contracts, as well as new Codex entries. Throughout each season, Bungie will also introduce new lore elements through new environments and missions.
