Bungie, renowned for its Halo and Destiny franchises, has revisited its roots by making its classic first-person shooter, Marathon 2, available for free on Steam. Developed in collaboration with fan-led studio Aleph One Developers, this re-release offers modern enhancements while preserving the original experience.

Originally released in the 1990s for Macintosh computers, the Marathon series helped shape the FPS genre. While not as widely recognized as Bungie's later works, the series has gained a dedicated following. This free Steam release, following the successful launch of Classic Marathon, aims to introduce a new generation of gamers to this influential title.
