Marathon Server Slam - Was I Wrong?
Published Feb 27, 2026 • Duration: 3:46:41
The Marathon Server Slam is officially underway, and the feedback is... intense and very mixed. In this video, I’m sharing my full impressions after 6 hours of Marathon gameplay of the playtest. We're diving deep into the gunplay, the "vibe," and why I was wrong, but not about what you think.
Bungie has made some bold choices here that will definitely polarize fans of Destiny and the original Marathon trilogy. Did they stick the landing, or is the stigma too wide to bridge? Let's talk about it.
The Marathon Server Slam is a free, limited-time open preview event for Bungie's upcoming extraction shooter, running from February 26 to March 2, 2026, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. It allows players to test server capacity, explore maps (Perimeter and Dire Marsh), and earn exclusive rewards for the full launch.
Marathon is an upcoming first-person shooter video game developed and published by Bungie. Announced in May 2023, the game will be the first new entry in Bungie's original Marathon series since the release of Marathon Infinity.
