Bungie details Marathon Season 2 and the new Sentinel class, with a free-to-play week and special sale planned, too

Bungie is launching Marathon Season 2 on June 2, 2026, introducing a new Sentinel class, a mysterious new map set on Tau Ceti IV, and fresh threats to the extraction shooter. The studio is running an “Open Play Week” from June 2-9, during which the full game will be freely available to all players on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S with no purchase required.

New and returning players can experience the game during this promotional period, with all progress made during the free week carrying over into Season 2. This timing coincides with the game’s seasonal reset, meaning veteran players will also be starting fresh with their loadouts and gear. Bungie is bundling the free week with special promotional sales to encourage trial and conversion of new players. The company emphasized the free week as an opportunity for interested players to join the community on a level playing field.
