This Day in Marathon.

Day #869.

Thanks to Baran Sevim (aka CrazyEyedMustafa) for posting the full image of his commissioned artwork by LocustTheSpawn (@LocustTheSpawn) on the Unofficial Marathon Discord.


Marathon / Mass Effect crossover by LocustTheSpawn (@LocustTheSpawn) posted by CrazyEyedMustafa on the Unofficial Marathon Discord. October 6, 2025.

We've been featuring the work in progress on this crossover piece for some months.

See October 4, 2025, August 18, 2025 and July 11, 2025.

The artwork is being used by Baran for his Marathon / Mass Effect crossover fan fiction, entitled Marathon: Red Shift

The tagline goes "This is a story of one battleroid, and how he learns to live."

In the above image the Marathon Marine is flanked by the female player character of Commander Shepard (left) and Garrus Vakarian a turian agent (right).

Nathan Clark(@NSClark98) did a nice illustration of Garrus Vakarian recently.

He followed it up with a very angry looking Mr Marathon.

No doubt this is the look you get after realising you've been put into a Pfhor stasis chamber for seventeen years and are no longer on Tau Ceti enjoying your status as "I am a Hero", like you deserved.

Durandal be like... "dry those tears and stuff a fresh clip in your assault rifle."

Nathan also gave us a more relaxed Marathon Marine packing his usual assortment of heat.


You follow the path, fitting into an infinite pattern by Nathan Clark (@NSClark98) on x.com. June 30, 2025.

Mr. Marathon be like... "I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubble gum."



In other news...

Now's your chance to play Marathon... again.

Bungie are opening applications for more players to join a Closed Technical Test from October 22 to October 28, 2025.

Yes, 7 days!

If chosen you will be testing improvements since the open Alpha last April, including prox chat, re-tuned combat pacing, solo queue, and deeper environmental storytelling.

Hopefully we will hear more from poor Dr. Song.

So fill out that application before October 16 at 4 PM (PT).


Oh and good luck on Tau Ceti.

You're going to need it.
