Bungie's long-awaited endgame mode for Marathon, Cryo Archive, has launched in the live build, Push Square reports. The mode has been billed as the game's piece de résistance and was widely expected to play a major role in shaping critical appraisals.
Push Square described Cryo Archive as an "all-important" addition and noted that the outlet waited for the mode's arrival before filing its full PlayStation 5 review. The deployment of an endgame raid-style activity represents a significant milestone for Marathon's post-launch roadmap, delivering the sort of high-end PvE content that typically anchors player retention and long-term progression.
Details on encounter design, difficulty and rewards were highlighted in the initial coverage but remain subject to further scrutiny as more teams complete the content. The mode's arrival is likely to influence both community discussion and editorial assessments as outlets incorporate the full endgame experience into final reviews.
