Bungie started posting teasers for Marathon on its social media channels on April 3 after months of silence since the last update from game director Joe Ziegler. Back in October 2024, Ziegler had said in a video update that development on Marathon was “on track,” but the studio was not ready to show gameplay.

Marathan has also undergone extensive player testing and feedback, with the game changing over the course of its development. “For the past couple of years, we've been doing a lot of aggressive change to the game, and we've been iterating pretty heavily. And during that time, we've been testing with a lot of players,” Ziegler had said in the last update.

Bungie had also shared two concept art images from Marathon in October. The first screenshot was that of a “Runner” from the game, codenamed “Thief”, while the second was of another character, codenamed “Stealth”, a Runner with a focus on stealth gameplay.
