Revealing the Release Date of the Game Marathon for Xbox

SadaNews - It was previously expected that the shooting game "Marathon" from Bungie Studio, which has been delayed, would be released in March 2026 at a price of $39.99 without specifying a particular date. However, the Steam store now shows that the game will be released on March 5, 2026.

This came after an announcement on the Xbox store briefly revealed the same release date, March 5, 2026.

The announcement was spotted by a user on the Reddit platform, who posted a recording of a teaser trailer for the game "Marathon" that concluded with the phrase "Coming on March 5, 2026. Pre-order now."

However, "Xbox" pulled the teaser trailer shortly after, and the Reddit user's post is no longer available, strongly suggesting that the clip may have been authentic, according to a report by the "IGN" website.

The game "Marathon" has faced development issues and has been delayed several times. At the end of last year, the parent company Sony announced that Bungie had not achieved its sales and user engagement targets, resulting in a loss of $200 million.

In May, the studio found itself facing further creative theft allegations after a Bungie artist was accused of stealing aspects of her artwork for the game "Marathon," a matter that has since been resolved.

In June, the game's release was postponed to 2026 while Bungie worked to respond to player feedback during the beta tests. The work on the game then halted until October when the studio announced that the shooting game was ready for a limited invitation-only beta test for players in North America and Europe on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and Steam.
