Bungie’s Marathon is Skipping the Next PlayStation State of Play

While many expected to see Marathon at Sony’s September State of Play, it’s now believed a reveal is more likely in November. The game’s development hasn’t been easy, facing numerous delays, challenges, and some controversy. Insiders suggest fans may have to wait a bit longer than expected for a new look at the title.

Sony has officially announced a new PlayStation presentation called State of Play, taking place on September 24th. The 35-minute show will likely feature announcements from both Sony and other developers. Currently, only one game – *Saros* from Housemarque – has been confirmed. Fans are eagerly speculating about what else will be revealed, although it seems one of Sony’s upcoming games won’t be part of the presentation.

Marathon Not Expected To Be Shown at the September State of Play

Bungie’s upcoming extraction shooter, *Marathon*, won’t be featured in the next State of Play presentation. According to Paul Tassi, sources say there are also no plans for a detailed blog post or similar update before or after the event. This means fans hoping for a new look at *Marathon* – which has been evolving from earlier closed alpha tests – will have to wait for a future reveal.

Rumors suggest we might see a reveal in November, which fits with Bungie’s past plans to share updates about *Marathon* in the fall, though it’s a bit later than some fans anticipated. If recent leaks are accurate, Bungie is likely using the extra time to make significant improvements. Playtesters-who are bound by confidentiality agreements-have shared details about major changes, including a complete overhaul of the Faction system, the addition of new content, and adjustments to how the game plays.

Despite being planned for release in 2026, the upcoming game *Marathon* still faces significant challenges. Early testing didn’t impress many players, but a bigger problem emerged: Bungie, the game’s developer, was accused of copying artwork from an artist named Antireal. While the game’s art style initially received praise, the accusations led to a delay and a complete overhaul of the visuals. Now, players are curious to see what the game actually looks like after these changes.
