Bungie has revealed more about the way the seasonal model will work in its upcoming extraction shooter Marathon, including more info about what you can expect when the game's first season arrives.
In a blog post on the official Marathon website, Bungie says that each of Marathon's seasons will last three months, and that seasons will introduce new features like Runner shells, gear, and zones, all of which will be free for all players.
Additionally, you'll "start fresh each season with nothing to [your] name", but each season will feature its own mini-progression loop, and the seasonal model will also progress the overall narrative of Marathon, allowing you to discover more about "what happened to the lost colony and on the Marathon ship".
Bungie says it wants to instil a feeling of what it cheekily refers to as "$@%& it let’s ball", with players going all-out at the end of seasons in the knowledge that they'll be losing everything they've accumulated over the course of the season soon anyway.
Progression resets won't include achievements or "ways to express yourself", and your Marathon codex also won't reset, because, as Bungie puts it, "unburying the secrets of Tau Ceti takes time"....
