Bungie has dismissed a wide-ranging leak claiming Marathon would merge with Destiny, stressing that the two IPs share Bungie DNA but remain independent. The leak, traced to 4Chan and Reddit, also suggested Destiny veterans would join Marathon and a free-to-play launch with a new PvE mode, but Bungie says nothing is confirmed and Destiny 3 is not in development; Marathon and Destiny will stay separate despite the rumors.
Windows Central reports Marathon’s Steam concurrent players have collapsed (roughly 6,000 at peak) compared with Destiny 2’s ~60,000, highlighting Bungie’s pivot from Destiny to Marathon, recent layoffs, and a declining valuation after Sony’s $3.6B acquisition. With Marathon’s game director Joseph Ziegler departed and a two-week limited PvE mode added to Marathon, the studio’s long-term future looks uncertain, potentially as a support studio rather than a leading live-service developer.
Destiny 2 ends official support with the Monuments of Triumph update, delivering closure for long-running stories, teasing a Marathon project, and signaling a bittersweet goodbye rather than a Destiny 3 as Bungie shifts to new ventures while reigniting nostalgia and interest.
A petition urging Sony to greenlight Destiny 3 has already surpassed Marathon’s peak opening-week players (roughly 130,000–150,000), underscoring strong fan demand as Bungie reportedly shifts resources toward Marathon amid layoffs, even as Destiny 2’s final update arrives and Destiny 3’s future remains uncertain due to financial considerations.
A Change.org petition for Destiny 3 has drawn over 48,000 signatures as fans share personal stories about how Destiny shaped their friendships and lives, expressing a desire for new adventures, stories, and features. The piece notes fans’ frustration with Bungie’s recent changes (including the shift to Portal and the end of The Final Shape as a perceived ending) and states that Destiny 3 is not currently in development, while commentators point to Sony’s live-service strategy as a factor in the franchise’s direction.
Bungie will release Destiny 2’s final major update on June 9, after which the game will remain playable. The studio says it’s entering a “new beginning” and will shift focus to a new project, Marathon, with future Destiny news to come, signaling a move away from Destiny while staying in the live-service space.
Bungie explains Marathon’s distinctive graphic retro futurism aesthetic and its live narrative approach, detailing how lore will unfold through contracts, text/audio logs, and seasonal updates. The studio stresses evergreen, add-on content rather than a traditional campaign, learns from Destiny’s vaulting mistakes, and plans solo and squad options as the Tau Ceti IV-extraction shooter rolls out with a strong voice cast and planned twists to surprise players.
