Bungie game director Joe Ziegler has detailed plans to add PvE and PvP-lite modes to Marathon. The changes aim to address player feedback on the extraction shooter's difficulty.
Ziegler shared the updates in a recent article that reviewed the game's launch and outlined future seasons. He noted that Marathon can feel overwhelming for new players without significant time investment or a consistent team. Positive aspects from the launch included the Cryo Archive map, ranked mode, and the formation of a core community around the title.
