## Summary

Bungie’s Symbiosis update, due on 8 December, will add a PvE-only mode and other features that make Marathon resemble Destiny’s broader mix of activities and social spaces. The changes are part of the studio’s effort to make the extraction shooter more appealing after it fell short of initial expectations.

Expedition will offer solo or crew-based roguelite runs focused on environmental challenges, while a beta Team Deathmatch mode will pit two three-person crews against each other without risking permanent loadouts. Players will also get Limbo, a non-combat social hub, a new Bishop Runner shell, expanded areas on the Perimeter map and a fight against the Tick Queen. An Open Play Week runs from 8 to 15 December on PS5 and PC; PS5 multiplayer requires PS Plus.
