More from Marathon

Marathon Season 2: Nightfall ends on September 22, 2026 (verified September 2, 2026). Season 3 starts on September 22, 2026. Season 2: Nightfall is Marathon's second season and its first full reset: Runner shell stats and faction reputation were wiped with the launch of The Cradle stat-customisation system, and everything resets again the moment Season 3 begins. The season added the Night Marsh zone, the Sentinel Runner shell, faster faction levelling and a Duos rotating zone queue. Bungie has confirmed the closing timestamp because Season 3 starts at the same instant with a Perimeter map revamp and a new Runner shell. The $10 Battle Pass never expires, so unfinished cosmetics can still be unlocked later; the wipe is what cannot be undone.

When Does Marathon Season 2: Nightfall End?

Marathon Season 2: Nightfall runs from June 2, 2026 to September 22, 2026 at 17:00 UTC, when Bungie has confirmed Season 3 begins immediately β€” the same day β€” with a Perimeter map revamp and a new Runner shell.

Nightfall launched with a full seasonal wipe: Runner shell stats and faction reputation through The Cradle system reset alongside the new Night Marsh zone, the Sentinel Runner shell, and a Duos rotating zone queue.

Marathon Season History

Marathon is Bungie's sci-fi PvPvE extraction shooter, released March 5, 2026 on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S with full cross-play and cross-save.

Season 1: Death Is the First Step ran from launch on March 5, 2026 to June 2, 2026 β€” 89 days β€” before Season 2: Nightfall began. Each season reset brings a full progression wipe alongside new content.

Marathon Battle Pass Cost and Value

The Marathon Battle Pass costs $10 per season. Bungie has confirmed Battle Passes never expire β€” players can purchase and unlock any previous season's pass at any time, removing the usual fear-of-missing-out pressure.

All Battle Pass content is cosmetic only. Marathon has no pay-to-win elements: every Runner, map, and weapon is free for all players regardless of Battle Pass purchase.
