Until now, PlayStation and Bungie have stuck to the "in March" timeframe, without naming an exact date, which led to various rumors. Now, a Reddit user in the Xbox Store accidentally discovered the release date: the game will be released on March 5, 2026. The irony is that it's a PlayStation project, and the leak appeared in the Microsoft ecosystem.
Bungie previously stated that everyone would have a chance to try Marathon at an open weekend before release. Perhaps official confirmation of the date will appear in the coming days, and players will be able to assess how justified the criticism around the game is.
Marathon is a new attempt by PlayStation and Bungie to show strong results in the shooter genre, but the question arises: will the developers be able to cope with the criticism?
