Bungie has announced a new direction for the studio, including the return of previously removed content to Destiny 2 and a rethinking of Marathon. In a blog post, Bungie Studio Head Poria Torkan and Marathon Head Josh Deane acknowledged that over the past few years, Bungie had lost players' trust, lost many talented employees, and lost sight of what mattered most — its players. The pair stressed that the new leadership team takes responsibility for those mistakes and isn't asking players to simply take its word for it: trust, they said, has to be earned through the quality of its games, the decisions it makes, and consistent follow-through. -
Bungie has officially pushed back its next major update for Marathon, while simultaneously announcing a permanent departure from strict seasonal schedules.

Bungie is reshuffling Marathon's leadership after Joe Ziegler said July 17 will be his last day at the studio, with Del Chafe III taking over game-director duties and Julia Nardin staying on to guide the project. -
After nearly 21 years at Bungie, Lars Bakken has moved on from the studio and, by his own account, from game development altogether. The former senior design director spent 28 years in the industry overall, and his departure was voluntary rather than the result of layoffs. -

Bungie announced the Vault Breaker PvE mode for Marathon, set to launch on July 21, 2026. This new mode marks a dramatic shift from the game's core extraction shooter formula, offering a raid-like experience on the Cryo Archive map that can be tackled solo or with up to two friends — without the threat of enemy players or losing your gear in firefights.
