Bungie has announced that Marathon, its upcoming survival extraction shooter, will release on March 5, 2026. The game will be available on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S with cross-play and cross-save support.

The game features an extensive English voice cast including Roger Clark, Jennifer English, Neil Newbon, Ben Starr, and Fred Tatasciore, among 33 announced actors.

A new gameplay trailer released today shows the various challenges players will encounter on the planet’s surface.
