Cryo Archive
Bungie partnered with marketing firm Kurppa Hosk to design an alternate reality game that unlocked the Cryo Archive map in Marathon. Players solved the ARG faster than developers anticipated, leading to its timely activation before a weekend release. The effort aimed to blend in-game puzzles with external clues for community engagement.

Bungie has changed the weekly schedules for Cryo Archive and Ranked modes in Marathon to prevent overlap. Cryo Archive will now run from Thursday 10am PT to Sunday 10am PT, with Ranked following from Sunday 10am PT to the next Thursday 10am PT. The update ensures one mode is always available.
Bungie’s extraction shooter Marathon has added a locked Cryo Archive map to the menu amid its ongoing ARG puzzle, now at the sixth of seven steps. Access requires reaching level 25 and establishing connections with all six factions, serving as a barrier against low-level griefers.
