Marathon is going free-to-play for one week from June 2–9 alongside the launch of Season 2: Nightfall.
Players on will be able to play the full game for free during the event, with progress carrying over if they decide to buy it later.
The update also adds:
- A new Night Marsh zone
- PvE-focused modes
- Matchmaking improvements
- Vault/system updates
A lot of people are seeing this as Bungie trying to bring players back after the game has been losing most of its players and declining interest since launch.
Offering a full free week will surely get them some players, but idk man, I feel like the game is done.
