'Everyone will be able to try Marathon' before launch as Bungie takes a second, sharper stab at reviving the iconic series as an extraction shooter in a post-Arc Raiders world

Marathon.

After a mixed reception to Marathon's first public playtest last year (not helped by the whiplash of Arc Raiders' remarkably positive playtest), Bungie returned to the drawing board to overhaul some of the extraction shooter's features. Now it's back on the menu and almost time for round two, as a second public playtest will happen before the March 5 release date.

Bungie had already teased that we'd have one more test drive, and it just reiterated that promise, explaining, "We'll have an open preview weekend before launch, and everyone will be able to try Marathon out". No date has been revealed yet, however.
