Marathon launches experimental PvE mode, tripling player count

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Marathon has launched its experimental Vault Breaker PvE mode, which allows players to team up in groups of one to three to navigate the Cryo map and complete vault challenges. This limited-time mode, available for two weeks, offers unique in-game currency for upgrades and purchases, separate from the main extraction gameplay. While this is a trial run, a more substantial PvE mode is slated for Season 3, with developers hoping this experimental phase will gauge player interest and inform future development. AI

RANK_REASON This is a limited-time experimental mode for an existing game, not a new game or major update.
