Season 2 of Marathon, available to all players, begins on June 2 and brings the Night Marsh zone, the new Sentinel Runner shell, new weapons, a new system to customize Runner shell stats, faster faction progression, several quality-of-life updates based on player feedback, and more.
Some of the notable updates coming to Marathon in Season 2 include:

- New equipment designed for surviving the dark: flashlights, night vision scopes, signal flares, and more
- A new area in the upper rooms of Complex
- New mysteries, combatants, and loot await!
- Sentinel Runner shell, a defensive shell built to lock down positions and protect teammates
- Sentinel’s kit includes an automated laser platform that shoots down incoming grenades and missiles while improving weapon handling for your nearby crew, a proximity mine that snares rushing enemies, and a short-range motion tracker that helps spot nearby movement, among other abilities
- The Cradle, a new way to improve Runner shell stats without being limited by faction progression
- Upgrades are shared across all Runner shells, can be reconfigured at any time with no penalty, and unlock additional perks at key thresholds, giving players more control over how they build and adapt throughout the season
