10 articles · Updated · Rock Paper Shotgun · May 26
Bungie’s first Season 2 cinematic trailer leans hard into horror, introducing the Sentinel runner shell and previewing the season before its June 2 start.
Night Marsh appears as a darker, more oppressive version of Dire Marsh, with shadow-heavy fights and more threatening UESC robot NPCs setting the tone.
One brief shot shows a Vandal shell contorting to reveal extra arms, hinting at possible zombified or mutated downed runners, though no gameplay details were shown.
Season 2 also arrives with an experimental PvE mode as Bungie tries to broaden Marathon’s audience after saying last week Destiny 2 will no longer get big updates or expansions.
With Destiny 2's future uncertain, can Bungie's high-stakes bet on Marathon's horror season pay off for Sony?
After a $400M investment and low player counts, can a new horror-themed PvE mode save Bungie's Marathon?
