Marathon’s Closed Alpha NDA Was Lifted After Reaction to Gameplay Reveal – Rumor Bungie has reportedly limited the closed alpha's participants to prevent things from breaking and seemingly expected leaks. Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 20th, Apr. 2025 Ahead of Marathon’s alpha, Bungie announced that it’s lifting the non-disclosure agreement, allowing players to share details and gameplay. Sources speaking to Forbes’ Paul Tassi have since offered potential reasons why. As a technical test, the alpha is limited to allegedly avoid breaking things (which is nothing new in the industry). Despite the NDA, it also seemingly expected leaks, which would have been fine given the limited nature of the test. However, leadership reportedly became nervous following last weekend’s reveal, particularly the reaction. Removing the NDA is meant to “shift the narrative.” Perhaps the openness will show that the studio isn’t trying to hide anything and wants to foster a dialogue with the community for the future. Time will ultimately tell, but despite the early nature of the alpha, even those who couldn’t participate can witness more extended gameplay. Stay tuned for updates in the coming days. Marathon launches on September 23rd for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. The closed alpha will run from April 23rd to May 4th. Check out the minimum system requirements here and the intro cinematic.
