A recent job advertisement from Bungie suggests that their upcoming game, Marathon, will introduce seasonal in-game events. These limited-time events are already a key feature in Bungie’s existing title, Destiny 2, aimed at boosting player retention and replay value.

The revival of Marathon, initially announced at the May 2023 PlayStation Showcase, is a modern twist on Bungie’s 1994 first-person shooter. Unlike the original, this iteration will involve players taking on the role of cybernetic mercenaries called ‘Runners’ exploring a lost world where 30,000 individuals have mysteriously disappeared. Details have been scarce since its announcement, with most information trickling out through job postings and leaks, increasing anticipation as the release draws closer.

Players can expect further announcements about Marathon soon, including potential pre-orders ahead of a rumored launch in late 2025.
