Marathon Season 2 NIGHTFALL Launches June 2 With Night Marsh Zone and Cradle Progression

Bungie revealed full details for Marathon Season 2: NIGHTFALL this week ahead of its June 2 launch. The centerpiece is Night Marsh, a horror-themed rework of Dire Marsh where extraction points and loot spawn locations are hidden at match start and every runner carries a flashlight by default. Light sources such as Vector rounds and signal flares become tactical tools for revealing the environment. The new Cradle progression system replaces much of the current stat build with a six-category investment tree that directly improves attributes like Agility and Loot Speed. A full seasonal account reset accompanies the launch.
