Bungie has outlined an ambitious roadmap for its shooter, Marathon, detailing upcoming content and enhancements.
The December 'Symbiosis' update is set to introduce a team deathmatch mode and a permanently accessible PvE mode designed for player experimentation without competitive pressure.
This update will also refresh the initial Perimeter zone with new visuals and encounters, including a boss named the Tick Queen. A new 'Bishop' shell archetype, described as a 'high-performance robot samurai,' will cater to experienced players, while a social space with a firing range will assist new players.
Looking further ahead to March 2027, a substantial update will follow, featuring an interconnected system of permanent PvE, PvP, and PvEvP experiences. This expansion will also include further onboarding improvements, a new zone, alien adversaries, deeper shell progression, and more focused narrative questlines, laying a foundation for continued game development throughout 2027.
