Bungie just gave Marathon fans something to get excited about. A gameplay reveal is coming on April 12, 2025. It’s been almost two years since the game was first announced back in May 2023, and after all that waiting, this feels like a big moment. If you know Bungie from Halo or Destiny, you’ll get why people are so excited. These guys have a knack for delivering shooters that stick with you. Now, with Marathon and Bungie stepping into the spotlight again, the anticipation is through the roof.
When and Where to Catch It
Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 12, 2025, at 10:00 AM PT. The reveal will stream live on Twitch, and it’s open for everyone to watch. What’s neat is how Bungie got the community involved; an alternate reality game (ARG) lets fans unlock the reveal date themselves. It’s a clever move that’s got people talking. If you’re curious about how that ARG went down, PC Gamer has a good rundown.
What’s Coming in the Reveal
Marathon is shaping up as a team-based extraction shooter set on Tau Ceti IV, a mysterious planet with a sci-fi edge. You’ll play as Runners. Think cybernetic mercenaries, chasing loot in a mix of PvP and PvE action. The catch? Get out with your haul or lose it all. The teaser trailer dropped some hints with its crashed ships and robotic critters, showing off a slick art style. You can watch it here if you haven’t yet. The gameplay reveal should finally show us how it all comes together. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for some of that classic Bungie gunplay.
Why Fans Are Talking
This isn’t just another game drop. Marathon: Bungie is reviving a 90s classic as their first new IP in years. That’s huge. Word is, some creators and press already got a sneak peek, and the chatter’s picking up. Comicbook.com has more on what’s leaking out, though Bungie’s keeping the best stuff under wraps for now. Over on social media, fans are losing it! One X post called it “the return of the king,” and honestly, it’s hard to argue.
