Marathon introduces separate PvE roguelike mode 'Vault Breaker'

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Bungie is introducing a new Player vs. Environment (PvE) mode called "Vault Breaker" for its game Marathon, set to launch on July 21. This mode will be largely separate from the core extraction shooter gameplay, focusing instead on a roguelike experience where players tackle increasingly difficult vaults within the Cryo Archive map. Progression in Vault Breaker involves earning "Vault Data" currency to upgrade in-game kits or purchase items for other Marathon modes, aiming to attract new players without disrupting the existing game economy.
