Marathon is free to play until June 9th, and will be discounted if you want to pick it up for good.
This was just announced at today's State of Play, bringing us a new trailer for Season 2 of Marathon. To mark the start of the new season, you can pick up Marathon for free until this time next week, and buy it outright for 30 percent off until June 16.
Marathon will be played for free for a week, but it was not enough to please viewers
Throughout State of Play, the chat has been flooded with requests for Destiny 3. This comes after Bungie revealed that it is ceasing new content updates for Destiny 2, with no mention of a new game being in the works.
It has since been reported that new ideas for Destiny are being brainstormed, but nothing is in active development right now. In fact, it is claimed that the developers are bracing for layoffs, as Bungie focuses on Marathon and other new projects.
Bungie has reportedly considered relaunching Destiny 2 as Destiny Infinity, rather than developing a sequel
Bungie is said to have launched a Destiny 2 relaunch, but it was also deemed too expensive.
Unfortunately, the fact that Marathon is still early in its life cycle (and seemingly struggling to build its own player base) means that many blame it for the Destiny series being put on hold. That's a big hurdle for the live service to get over, hence the decision to go free to play for the week, along with this discount.
In any case, Season 2 of Marathon started earlier today. It remains to be seen whether that can make up for the game's rocky start – and whether Bungie can win everyone back after halting Destiny's development.
