Due to delays and internal reboots, Marathon ended up being in development for much longer than initially planned. With a six year timeline, the cost of producing the game rose exponentially for Bungie, with estimates putting the final number in the $250M to $300M range. Despite positive reviews from those that have given the game a chance, Marathon has reportedly only shifted an estimated 1.2M copies so far, with the vast majority of that coming from the PC market. 

While Marathon garnered a respectable number of players for its launch weekend, Bungie's big moment was actually usurped by an unlikely competitor - the early access version of Slay the Spire 2.

Last night Bungie officially launched Marathon, its first brand new game in close to a decade. The game appears to be off to a good start with positive user reviews on Steam, but has it been enough? 

Bungie's Marathon has officially launched today, marking a new beginning for the studio as it branches out into handling multiple live-service games simultaneously.

With the game’s legal issues now finally resolved, Bungie have officially announced that Marathon is launching in March of 2026.

Earlier this year, following a publicly playable alpha test, Bungie was forced to delay Marathon after an artist noticed that their work had been included in the game uncredited.
