Marathon mid‑season 2 adds experimental PvE mode for solo and duo Cryo Archive runs
I’m not great at Marathon—I enjoy the pew‑pew and sci‑fi, but PvP usually ends badly for me, so I’d written off Cryo Archive as a crew‑only, super‑hard map. Mid‑season 2 introduces Marathon’s first proper experimental PvE mode that uses Cryo Archive and can be played solo or in duos.
Confession: I’m terrible at Marathon. I love the guns and the weird sci‑fi vibes, but facing other players usually means I don’t make it out in one piece. That left Cryo Archive—Marathon’s super‑hard map reserved for crews and those with the right skills and loot—off my to‑do list. The good news: the mid‑season 2 update brings the game’s first proper experimental PvE mode, which uses Cryo Archive as its point of operation and lets solo players or duos take it on.
