Bungie's Marathon launches Season 2 with free week amid Destiny 2 shift

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Bungie is launching Season 2 of its extraction shooter, Marathon, on June 2nd, coinciding with the game's first-ever free week. This event is a critical test for the game's player base, especially after Bungie announced it would cease development on Destiny 2. The free week aims to attract new players and retain them by allowing progress to carry over to a purchased copy of the $40 game. Success will be measured by player turnout and concurrent player numbers, which are crucial for securing continued investment from Sony and Bungie. AI
