Marathon Season 2 kicks off with free week preview, adding Sentinel class and Cradle

Bungie’s Marathon launches Season 2 with a free one-week open preview from June 2–9 across Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S; progress during the preview carries over to the full game if purchased, and existing players’ item vaults and armories reset. The update introduces the Sentinel defensive class with Defender System drone and motion-tracking, a nocturnal Dire Marsh map with slower, survival-horror gameplay, and Cradle—a system to convert extra gear into XP for stat upgrades, which players can tweak at any time to experiment.
