‘Marathon' NDA Alpha Leaks Show Visual Improvements, Detail New Additions
Marathon
I'm honestly a little surprised that we haven't seen more leaks out of the NDA-ed Marathon Alpha that's been running, but that's what the threat of legal action will do. It also signifies that maybe that's what Bungie should have done with the last Alpha, as originally planned, as we may have avoided that whole negative news cycle.
This info is pulled from Twitter user @itsrocksiza, who says they have not signed an NDA themselves, but has access to information and (now deleted) images all the same somehow (a friend?). He says Bungie contacted him to delete the images, and while not legally required to do so, he did it to be nice. I did save them, but I'm not going to actually post them here for a similar reason. But I'll talk about what was shown.
Marathon
As I've always said, leaks aren't leaks when they're positive! I mean, not really, and you all should not break your NDAs, but here we are, and all of this sounds like improvements from the last public Alpha, and relatively quick changes being made/tested.
This is obviously not everything. Bungie said there will be further tests before release, though what the mix of NDA-ed and invite-only and eventually public tests will be is not confirmed. Bungie has not given a new Marathon release date, but says it will this fall. It's likely to be before the end of the 2025 fiscal year which ends in March. We'll see just how many changes and additions Marathon can get before that release, and if they might change its fortunes.
