Bungie laid out a multi-season roadmap to make Marathon more accessible and broaden its appeal beyond the core extraction-shooter audience.
Planned updates include experimental PvE-focused and PvP-lite modes, plus better onboarding, progression, and inventory systems.
Season 2 will expand queue options, including Duos, while later seasons are set to bring deeper gameplay and live-service changes.
The goal is to improve retention and attract more players after Marathon’s weak launch.
