Bungie Lined Up Marathon Season 2 for June and Detailed the Inevitable Wipe
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Bungie announced that Marathon Season 2, titled Nightfall, launches on June 2nd, bringing a major inventory and level reset alongside a final weeks event rollout detailed by Rock Paper Shotgun.
Bungie has officially locked in the release date for the second season of Marathon, titled Nightfall, arriving on June 2nd. As the current season races toward its conclusion, details are coming into focus regarding what carries over and what gets wiped clean in the transition. According to details covered by Rock Paper Shotgun, players will see their runner levels, ranked tiers, faction upgrades, and most in-game currencies reset to zero alongside a total inventory and vault wipe. Cosmetics, weapons redeemed during season one, specific Codex challenges, and rewards pass progress are safe, ensuring dedicated players keep their earned vanity items and long-term milestones.
To help everyone finish up their current goals, Bungie is ramping up the challenge and the rewards for the final weeks of season one. Starting soon, map events are guaranteed on every run, Wardens will reliably drop locked room keys, and UESC robot NPCs will spawn more frequently to keep players on their toes. On top of that, accelerated faction XP gains will make finishing up those final reputation grinds a bit smoother before the reset hits. The daily availability of the Cryo Archive alongside daily sponsored kit drops should give the community plenty of reasons to log in and gear up before the big transition.
Looking ahead, the full seasonal reveal scheduled for the week of May 25th will hopefully shed light on how narrative progression and priority contracts will handle the shift into Nightfall. With a new runner shell and a moody nighttime variant of Dire Marsh on the horizon, Bungie is clearly aiming to build momentum rather than just hitting a hard reset button.
