The presentation of the upcoming shooter Marathon, created by Bungie, caused a wave of discussions, as not everyone was satisfied with what was shown. And now one of the trailers has disappeared from the game's official YouTube channel.

Here's What We Know

The video "Marathon Gameplay Reveal Trailer" is currently unavailable for viewing on the main page of the Marathon channel.

A complaint against the video was filed by Warner Music Group, but some players doubt that it was done on purpose. After all, Bungie with its reputation would hardly use unlicensed music in the official trailer of its game.

It is likely that the complaint was sent by an automated system of the Warner Music Group. People on YouTube sometimes complain about similar tools of companies that can throw a complaint on videos where there is no infringement or copyrighted content.

So far, Bungie has not officially commented on the incident with the missing trailer, so we can only guess what really happened.

However, the trailer is available on other channels.

Marathon is scheduled for release on 23 September 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
