Bungie is launching a free week for its extraction shooter, Marathon, from June 2 to June 9, allowing players to experience the game without any cost. This coincides with a complete reset of all player accounts, meaning that both new and veteran players will start on equal footing, as all gear and skills will be wiped. Season 2 introduces significant changes, including a new night variant of the Dire Marsh map, which enhances the game's horror elements and requires players to use flashlights to navigate. Additionally, a new character class called the Sentinel will be available, equipped with abilities to nullify enemy attacks and track movements. Despite the excitement around these updates, recent news of layoffs at Bungie and the end of support for Destiny 2 casts a shadow over the game's future. Players interested in trying out Marathon will find this free week an ideal opportunity to engage with the game amidst these changes.
