After years of anticipation, Bungie officially unveiled its new first-person shooter, Marathon, in a first-look trailer last week. With the success of Halo and influential titles like Pathways Into Darkness and the Marathon trilogy, Bungie picked 2025 as the year for a new extraction game. Following over a decade dedicated to the Destiny franchise, Bungie is revisiting its roots with this Marathon reboot, as we now have the official release date.
While the new Marathon game has been known to fans for some time, concrete information has been scarce.

That moment has now arrived, as Bungie has provided its first comprehensive overview of Marathon, including its core features and planned release timeframe. Here is the first gameplay reveal trailer for Marathon:
