Marathon's weekend Server Slam has only just finished, but with the game launching in a mere three days on March 5, Bungie's ready to talk post-launch plans, spilling the beans on Season 1 and how wipes will work.
Marathon Season 1, running from March to June, is called Death is the First Step, which is a pretty ominous name for the start of our pillaging efforts on Tau Ceti. Bungie explains that, as part of the season's narrative, players will "soon discover a way aboard the derelict UESC Marathon ship hanging above" Tau Ceti. "Once the community unlocks the way into orbit, the fourth zone, Cryo Archive, will become available", which is an end-game location filled with puzzles, frozen vaults, and that terrifying alien we've seen in the trailers. It sounds like this could be a community event of some sort, similar to how we unlocked Arc Raiders' first post-launch map, Stella Montis.
