The popular game Marathon has rolled out a substantial mid-season update, introducing a wealth of new rewards, crucial patch notes, and an exciting partnership with Displate.

A key highlight of this update is the expansion of the rewards pass. Players on both free and premium tiers can now unlock four new Runner Shell styles, a WSTR Shotgun style, and a profile emblem as part of the season one pass. Premium subscribers gain exclusive access to the Thief, Assassin, and Destroyer runner styles, while free-to-play users will receive the Recon style, WSTR Shotgun, and a Profile Emblem.

Marathon also introduces a new gameplay mechanic called “Stay Together.” This feature aims to resolve the issue of losing valuable teammates after a match. Upon completing a game, players will have the option to invite their recent squadmates to join them in another match. This functionality remains active even if only one member of the original team successfully extracts, encouraging players to stay connected with skilled allies.

Another significant addition is the C.A.R.R.I. Protocol, an initiative launched by ONI. This limited-time event challenges both solo players and crews to complete contract objectives and exfiltrate successfully for rewards. These rewards are designed to benefit players in the early and mid-game stages while still offering engagement for veterans. Successful participants will earn CyberAcme Commendations, which can be exchanged at the C.A.R.R.I. armory for items such as weapons, random salvage crates, and reputation packs to boost faction standing.

In a special collaboration, Marathon has teamed up with Displate to offer a collection of high-quality, officially licensed designs featuring iconic characters and scenes from the game. For dedicated fans, the Bungie store is offering a Collector’s Edition that includes all deluxe version content along with a game code. This edition also features a 1/6th scale Thief Runner shell statue with LED lighting and exclusive in-game cosmetics when purchased from the Bungie Store or PlayStation Direct.

It’s a significant moment for the inhabitants of Tau Ceti.
