Depending on who you ask, Marathon has struck a chord with a dedicated playerbase, but <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/sony-reports-765-million-impairment-loss-due-to-underperformance-of-marathon-developer-bungie\">may not have the wide appeal<\/a>. It seems Bungie is acutely aware of the fact that it may need to expand its audience to make it more approachable and is planning on doing so.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In a massive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bungie.net\/7\/en\/News\/Article\/launch_learning_whatsnext\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new blog post<\/a>, Bungie laid out its plans for the future of Marathon. Among the many details in it, arguably the biggest takeaway content-wise is the introduction of a brand-new PVE mode being <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/marathon-season-2-detailed\">introduced in Season 2<\/a>. It&#8217;s an experimental mode that won&#8217;t have player-on-player combat to instead emphasize working together to complete objectives, fight UESC bots, and make progress in a less chaotic and hostile environment. Additionally, there will be a mode that focuses on &#8220;PVE, but with a light touch of PVP,&#8221; though details are scarce on what exactly that means.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For those fearing this means PVP will take a backseat from Marathon, that&#8217;s not the case. Bungie teased that it is developing a purely PVP-focused mode as part of plans for more experimental modes in Marathon. Bungie noted its goal is to create a game that allows for nail-biting tension and sweaty gameplay, but also one that allows you to take a step back and chill. The aim is to ensure there is a pace of play for whatever mood you&#8217;re in, rather than constant high-stakes, tense gameplay with big time commitments.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Marathon Screenshots 2026 and 2025<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2021719738 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Bungie is also planning to update and improve Marathon&#8217;s onboarding experience for new players, as well as deepen the overall experience for the diehard fans:<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The following is the general roadmap for the future of Marathon throughout 2026:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Season 2 is on the horizon and we&#8217;ll be sowing the seeds for a lot of our future plans via new content such as Sentinel and Night Marsh, systems, and experiments around new play modes that may become permanent in the future.<\/li>\n<li>Season 3 we&#8217;re planning to introduce a lot (and I mean a lot) of revisions to our early experience, including big updates to Perimeter, alongside a new Runner shell, and additional (no spoilers) content.<\/li>\n<li>Season 4 we&#8217;re focusing on building more depth into the existing extraction loop.<\/li>\n<li>Season 5 we&#8217;re looking at bringing the whole ecosystem of (PV(P)VE) play together and evolving our weird sci-fi world in new ways.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">While there is a passionate group of Marathon players, some would-be fans were interested in experiencing the game for Bungie&#8217;s tight gunplay, but didn&#8217;t click with the main extraction-based modes.
