Launch map roster

Marathon launched with four confirmed maps: Perimeter, Outpost, Dire Marsh, and Cryo Archive. Each is set within the Tau Ceti system and reflects a distinct environment and playstyle.

Bungie has confirmed a seasonal cadence that will add new maps over time. The four launch maps are the complete competitive surface at release.

Perimeter

Perimeter is one of the two most referenced maps in launch communication. Its name implies an outer-zone or patrol-boundary setting, suggesting open corridors and perimeter-based engagement zones.

Open sightlines typically favour longer-range loadouts. Expect multiple extraction options given the implied spatial scale.

Outpost

Outpost implies a forward-position structure — a contained, defensible location surrounded by contested ground. This layout tends to create loot concentration near a central point with risk radiating outward.

Expect close-to-medium engagement ranges and contested extraction timing when multiple squads converge on the same objective.

Dire Marsh

Dire Marsh is a distinctly named environment suggesting low-visibility, uneven terrain, and environmental hazards. Marsh settings in extraction shooters typically punish aggressive movement and reward map-aware positioning.

Visibility limitations make audio awareness and runner abilities particularly relevant here.

Cryo Archive

Cryo Archive is an enclosed facility setting with implied vertical structure and cold-environment aesthetics. Archive naming suggests dense loot potential within a structured interior.

Interior maps typically create tight engagement corridors. Close-range loadouts and runners with mobility or breach abilities tend to perform well.
