Bungie's Marathon Season Plans Revealed
Bungie, the developer of the upcoming extraction shooter Marathon, has laid out their plans for the game's first season. According to an announcement on PC Gamer [9], the season will bring a clean slate for the whole community, with all players' progress reset to zero.
Seasonal Resets Explained
The seasonal resets will include everyone's gear, contract progression, faction progression, and player level. However, achievements and cosmetic items will be preserved. This means that players will have to start from scratch every three months, with no carryover of progress from previous seasons.

Bungie has also teased what to expect in the game's first two post-launch seasons, including new content and features. The roadmap for the first two seasons has been revealed, with a focus on adding new game modes, events, and challenges.
Conclusion
The announcement has sparked a mixed reaction from the gaming community, with some players expressing frustration at the prospect of losing their progress every three months. However, others see the seasonal resets as a way to keep the game fresh and exciting, with new challenges and opportunities to progress.
