Destiny 2 files reveal hints of Marathon shooter pre-order opening in winter 2025

Bungie is actively working on its next game, the online shooter Marathon. It is likely that pre-orders for the game will open in early 2025.

Here's What We Know

Hints of Marathon pre-order were found in the Destiny 2 game files, which should start during the 1st quarter of 2025.

Players have found the text string "v820.offers.entitlements.d2.marathon.preorder" in the game files, so we may soon have more details about the game.

According to The Game Post, the "v820" part is important. Bungie keeps track of Destiny 2 expansion packs and seasons by version numbers: The Final Shape has the number "v800", and the current episode, Revenant, is "v810". "The "v820" in the line indicates the episode "Heresy", which will be released on 4 February 2025.

Thus, pre-orders can be opened along with the episode's release.

In addition, the game has also been beta-tested among bloggers, so Marathon is already in a state where it can be played.
