Marathon Trilogy Box Set

Marathon developer Bungie has unveiled what, exactly, will change as Season 2 begins, teasing "liberated chaos" as players "know a fresh start is just around the corner" when update 1.0.9 drops next Tuesday (May 19).

Bungie announced that Marathon will be free to play on all platforms with the start of Season 2, which also adds new updates and progression systems.

As part of the Pokémon Go "Spring Marathon" event, you can hatch eggs or complete the Go Pass to find Flittle.

A guide explaining exactly when Marathon Season 2 starts across the world and details on what to expect with the new season.

With a new season starting soon, Bungie is offering Marathon at its best price yet next week: free. For the low price of nothing, anyone interested in checking out the extraction shooter on PC, PS5, or Xbox Series X|S can grab a free trial for the game starting June 2 and running through June 9, with progress carrying over if they decide to drop $40 on it. PS5 players won't need a PS Plus subscription to go online, either.
