Marathon Season 2 Nightfall Launches June 2, 2026 with Wipe

Bungie announced that Season 2 of its extraction shooter Marathon, titled Nightfall, will launch on June 2, 2026, introducing a full progress wipe for players alongside new content. The update resets runner levels, ranks, vault and loadout contents, credits, schemas, faction level upgrades, and priority contracts to zero, while preserving unlocked factions, earned cosmetics, codex entries, LUX and Silk currency, Rewards Pass progress, and Cryo Archive subroutine progress.

To ease the transition, Bungie is increasing vault sizes and accelerating faction progression for Season 2. Players will also receive sponsored kits based on their highest runner level achieved in Season 1, with milestones at levels 10, 25, 50, and 75 granting progressively higher rarity gear, including a purple-rarity kit at level 75 or above. Ranked rewards from Season 1, such as emblems, weapon styles, and titles ranging from Bronze I to Pinnacle I, must be claimed via the codex before the reset.

Ahead of the new season, Bungie detailed changes for the end of Season 1 via update 1.0.9, set for May 19, 2026. Map events including Lockdown, Convoy, Anomaly, Intercept, and Warden spawns will occur on every run....
