Marathon will have a duo mode, but Bungie warns: it will be broken at the beginning

The players of Marathon, the new title from Bungie, will have the opportunity to try an experimental duo mode starting March 18. This new mode, which will operate on a single map called Perimeter, will be available for a limited period of approximately two weeks. The decision on whether it will be implemented permanently will depend on the feedback that players provide during this testing phase. They warn that it will not be polished from the start.

Players of Marathon, Bungie’s new title, will have the opportunity to try out a duo mode experimentally starting March 18. This new mode, which will operate on a single map called Perimeter, will be available for a limited period of approximately two weeks.

The decision on whether it will be implemented permanently will depend on the feedback players provide during this testing phase.

They warn that it will not be polished from the start

The game director, Joe Ziegler, explained that this feature has been requested by the community since the “server slam” that took place in February.

Although the duos mode is presented as a “nice to have” option, Bungie acknowledges that its implementation is a significant challenge, as changing the composition of teams could alter how the game flows and the behavior of players within the map.

One of the key considerations for this new mode is its impact on supply density within the game environment. Currently, Marathon already offers matchmaking options for solo players and groups of three, and the addition of a duo queue could further complicate wait times. Ziegler mentioned that the test will seek to analyze how the introduction of duos affects matchmaking time and the overall player experience.

As the release date for this new feature approaches, Bungie seems committed to learning from this experience to better understand how to expand the duos mode in the future. With this initiative, the company hopes to take a step forward in the evolution of the game and consider implementing improvements based on the feedback it receives.
