Bungie outlines Marathon roadmap to grow the game beyond extraction

Bungie announced short- and long-term plans for Marathon in a blog post, saying it wants to keep the extraction mode while adding more approachable experiences with different levels of intensity and commitment. October's Nightfall refresh brings a regular and a free permanent NuCaloric rewards pass, recurring sponsored kit queues, and larger access windows for the end-game Cryo Archive. December pushes the PvE mode Symbiosis, adds an experimental Team Deathmatch mode, a new shell, a reworked Perimeter map with new zones, a new PvE pinnacle encounter and a fungal aesthetic, while next March is set to add interconnected permanent PvE, PvP and PvEvP experiences, a new onboarding experience, a more focused questline and narrative, a new zone and a new alien enemy.
