Bungie’s upcoming extraction shooter Marathon appears to have new preorder bonuses and DLC linked to Destiny 2, according to information found in SteamDB. Updates to Bungie’s Steam backend have revealed new editions of Marathon along with packages that seem to be tied to preorder incentives. Additionally, there are references to in-game rewards for Destiny 2 that unlock upon purchasing Marathon, which are likely cosmetic items.
This discovery was originally reported by members of the SteamDB Discord server, who have been tracking changes to Bungie’s listings. While there are no official details yet, the presence of these files suggests that Bungie is preparing for a major marketing push for Marathon, which is expected to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Marathon is a reboot of Bungie’s classic 1994 first-person shooter, which originally debuted on Apple Macintosh. The new game, first revealed in May 2023, is a sci-fi PvP extraction shooter set in the year 2850. Bungie’s approach aims to modernize the franchise while maintaining elements of the original series’ deep lore and atmosphere.
With these newly uncovered preorder bonuses, it remains to be seen when Bungie will officially announce details about Marathon’s release date and special editions. Given the increasing number of updates in SteamDB, an official reveal could be imminent.
