Bungie delays its next major update for the online shooter Marathon, moving planned content out of September and into December. Multiple sources report that a long-awaited permanent PvE mode is part of what gets pushed back, with the update now due to launch on 8 December rather than the earlier window.
The change is announced in a blog post, and outlets also describe Bungie as stepping away from a strict seasonal release schedule. One outlet frames the decision as reducing the frequency of updates and raises questions about how the game will be sustained as a live service. Another notes that Marathon’s Season 3 and related items are delayed alongside the PvE mode, and links the timing shift to a broader pivot in Bungie’s planning.
While the reports align on the delay date and the cancellation of a rigid seasonal cadence, they differ in emphasis—one focuses more on the implications for Marathon’s live-service future, while the other highlights Bungie’s stated schedule changes and the scope of what’s moved.
