Bungie has outlined its long-term story vision for the live-service extraction shooter Marathon, with creative director Julia Nardin emphasizing player influence and ensuring every season serves as an entry point for new players. Season 2 launches in early June amid positive updates and review praise.

Video game analyst Rhys Elliott of Alinea Analytics estimates that Bungie's Marathon has sold around 1.2 million copies worldwide, generating $55 million in revenue excluding microtransactions. Steam accounts for the majority of sales at 800,000 copies, far ahead of PlayStation 5's 217,000 and Xbox Series X/S's 133,000. The game retains about 380,000 daily active users despite some early player drop-off.

Bungie game director Joe Ziegler has detailed plans to add PvE and PvP-lite modes to Marathon. The changes aim to address player feedback on the extraction shooter's difficulty.

Bungie will introduce an experimental duo queue for its extraction shooter Marathon starting March 18. Game director Joe Ziegler announced the limited-time test on X, allowing pairs to play on the Perimeter map. The two-week trial is opt-in to avoid matching with trios.
