A deleted Reddit post claimed a Discord group paid users to post positive comments about Bungie’s new game Marathon. An investigation found the evidence was misleading and the original screenshots disappeared fast.
The Marathon community unlocked the Cryo Archive. Bungie confirmed the map is an endgame challenge with strict entry rules, weekend-only access, raid-style puzzles, and top-tier rewards locked behind seven vaults.
Marathon's Ranked system is surprisingly complex for an extraction shooter, so Bungie published a short 'ranked calculation worksheet' to walk players through score targets, penalties, and potential gains. The little quiz actually makes the rules clearer.
Marathon’s competitive Ranked mode goes live Saturday, March 21, 2026. It’s season one and still in development, so Bungie wants player feedback. Here’s how it works and what you need to jump in.
Bungie rolled out update 1.0.5 for Marathon. The hotshot WSTR shotgun got a proper nerf, audio distance was dialed back, and the Cryo Archive map is now in the build but locked behind community puzzles and strict entry rules.
Embark Studios' CEO Patrick Söderlund says Bungie's Marathon had a rough technical test in April 2025 but was turned around quickly, and he respects the work the team put in. He also says there is room for both Arc Raiders and Marathon in the extraction shooter space.
An experimental duos matchmaking option arrives in Marathon on March 18 for roughly two weeks, running only on the Perimeter map so Bungie can see how two-player squads change the game.
A viral post argued that the “from the makers of” line is misleading. Bungie UI designer Elliott Gray replied with a long list of Halo alumni who still work at the studio.
Players noticed Marathon felt deadlier after a recent patch. Bungie says increasing how far gunfire and explosions carry was too much and will roll back the change in an upcoming update.
Bungie is hosting the Tau Ceti Cup, a streamer showmatch for Marathon on March 14 with Twitch drops and custom jackets on the line.
Patch 1.0.0.4 pads ammo, adds med cabinets on Perimeter, and disables Broken Wing on Outpost. PC players report some hiccups while fans cheer the nerfs.
Bungie's first weekly Marathon patch trims UESC health, bumps supplies, nerfs thermal scopes and locks one sneaky entrance. Quick fixes for a chaotic launch.
