Marathon: Release Date, Open Preview Weekend and More

Marathon is the next game from Bungie, the acclaimed studio behind the Halo and Destiny franchises. The developer's new game was originally set to come out last September, but the lukewarm reception it received from players who tried out the game's alpha test led Bungie to delay the release to give it some fine-tuning.

It appears Bungie is ready to try again, as it confirmed that Marathon will be released this March. The company revealed the new release date on Jan. 19, when the pre-order trailer for the game was uploaded to YouTube.
