Summary
September 22, 2026 is the start date Bungie set for Marathon Season 3, marking the end of Season 2 and the next major content update.
Perimeter—the first map players enter—will be overhauled with major new areas, encounters and gameplay elements, changing what has been a relatively safe introductory zone.
Season 3 will also add a new Runner shell, plus new weapons, equipment and other unrevealed content; Bungie said the shell should again shift the game’s meta.
Season 2 offered a template for that approach with Dire Marsh (Night), an alternate map version that introduced new points of interest and tougher threats.
