Random fact: I’ve gotten so fucking good at hopping around on my left foot.

@Ziegler_Dev Can we get a real definition of “weekend” please? For Trials, it meant 4 of the 7 days! Big difference between that and a 2 day weekend. I think this system could do REALLY well staggered a bit. Cryo Fri - Mon, ranked Sat - Tues or something. Curious to hear the plan.

Cryo and Ranked are coming and we're excited to see players battle it out over Tau Ceti and traverse into the big scary moon-like ship in the sky. We've put out a few posts about Cryo, poured through the variety of comments and feedback we've seen so far, and wanted to take some time to explain some of the initial decisions we've made around Cryo and Ranked with regards to weekend scheduling. So without further ado, here's what we have been thinking: We are of course always iterating and are open to looking at other options in the future, but the Ranked/Cryo Archive weekend decision is really built around three points: - Preparing: We acknowledge that players will lose a lot of gear on Cryo and Ranked because it is intended to challenge you to your limits. As a result of that, it's important that Cryo and Ranked feel like an event you can schedule towards, grind gear up to do, etc. The loop of spend time grinding gear to spend it in Cryo or Ranked is reflected in this choice as a weekly cycle. - Economy Talk: We have some great rewards on Cryo that kind of break the bank when it comes to economy and power gain. If we were to look at having it open all the time, we'd probably have to adjust how frequently you can earn these rewards so that we don't flood the game with amazing loot all of a sudden. - Logistics Time: Cryo and Ranked both have entry requirements (gear ante) that are built around the idea of you matching with other players on an equal investment level. They also both have a high level requirement to ensure you've experienced enough of the game to understand the challenges inherent to the game. This inherently makes the amount of people in that queue at any time unpredictable. Both of these experiences also need a consistent flow of players in the queue to make sure matches are full to retain the challenge. To reduce the match times and allow players to find matches quicker, making it a scheduled event means more players will show up during that window and feed the queue pool better. We also acknowledge that there are likely some who cannot participate on the weekend or are excited about the experience and want to no-life it for weeks, and we appreciate that. We'll be looking into what we can do to retain these considerations and potentially accommodate this in the future. Things we may iterate on in the future: - Staggering Ranked and Cryo queues more so they overlap less - Looking at changing the days we do either Cryo or Ranked - Changing the ante values of Cryo or Ranked - Looking at any other conditions (solo experience, crew fill experience, etc.) and iterating on it! Marathon is an evolving game and part of evolving is seeing how this initial launch plays out and adjusting as we go =). Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming and we'll update you when we figure out the next evolution.

@MTashed @Sweatcicle @GoldExgle After dealing with it for a decade in Trials, it’s finally my turn 😈

@GernaderJake @Sweatcicle @GoldExgle Wtf? Clone of you is playing? 4 person squad is cheating

@MarathonTheGame I CAN’T WAIT TO LOSE ALL MY LOOT AND GET DESTROYED TOMORROW LETS GOOOOOOO

Access granted. You have found your way to the Marathon. The ice around Cryo Archive cracks and groans. It seems nothing can stop you from getting in. It will be interesting to see if you can get out. 10 AM PT, March 20, 2026

@Gothalion Hey Goth You’re fuckin sexy, and that IS NOT the margaritas talkin

Think about that

@MarathonTheGame So you're saying... It's gonna be like Trials?

Put your survival skills to the test, climb the competitive ladder, and prove you’re a top Runner on Tau Ceti in Ranked mode.

Cozmo told @MrRoflWaffles that once they figure out the ARG, they’ll LEARN when the map comes out. I don’t think it’s just randomly dropping once solved.

@TheTrueVanguard I should probably watch this. I’ve logged about 100 hours but about 1 of those was solo and it was miserable.

So far I have logged over 80hrs in Marathon in SOLO play alone. Here are my top tips, my full advanced guide on how to succeed as a solo player: youtu.be/_7uhSXNUfKI

Got out of the house for a sunset picnic with the wifey last night 😀

@MarathonTheGame These little videos highlighting the most important info are amazing for us lazy readers 🫡

I feel bad for the people who are refusing to play Marathon because of how much shit they talked about it even though they’d be so addicted if they gave it a try. 🤣

Carrot gambling and Marathon “Carries” Just excited to game and hang with chat for a few hours tbh Twitch.tv/GernaderJake
