Marathon is getting a lot bigger next month. In September, Bungie outlined their plans for the shooter making some big promises, namely the arrival of a PvE mode, and now they've shown off what you can expect from its next season, Symbiosis.

Top of the order is that PvE mode, which has a name now: Expedition. It's a roguelite mode, one that's playable in co-op, though a lack of details at this current time doesn't make it clear as to whether you can run it solo or not. The season's trailer, which you can have a gander at below, gives off the impression that you'll have to complete particular tasks before exfiltrating like you normally do. I'm sure we'll learn more in time.

The previously promised social space will be coming with this update too, and it's called Limbo. Morbidly appropriate! You can hang out here with your buds, head to a mini arena for some impromptu matches (I think), or head to the firing range where you can test out your weapons. You'll also be able to try out the new runner shell, Bishop, a cooler than you, samurai-sword-wielding robot who can jump real good and do that cool movie thing where it slices a whole bunch of enemies at once in one swing real quick like.

" is the beginning of a beta test for a team deathmatch mode. The Halo comparison is apt not simply because of the fact that it's Bungie who are making it, but because there's a deep-voiced announcer guy talking about all the sick kills you do.
