It’s another week, and that means another maintenance for the extraction shooter Marathon is underway. For today, April 7, Bungie has taken the game’s servers offline temporarily in order to roll out a new game update.

Players can expect Marathon to be offline for a few hours as Bungie conducts maintenance, which means the entirety of the game will be inaccessible.
