Bungie confirms Marathon Season 2 will test PvE-focused modes alongside a broad set of balance and quality-of-life updates, including Night Marsh, the Sentinel defensive shell, new weapons and gear, higher progression and vault capacities, plus a rotating Duos queue and smarter matchmaking. The season will kick off with an experimental PvE mode with a touch of PvP, followed later by a pure PvE mode, with future plans adding alien zones, mind-warp debuffs, Tau Ceti enemies, new exfil options, and onboarding/contract improvements.

Marathon to lean into PvE and PvP-lite modes to ease onboarding

Bungie’s Marathon (2026) director explains Season 2 will introduce PvE and PvP-lite modes to soften the game’s steep learning curve, alongside new content like a Runner Shell, a nighttime Dire Marsh map variant, additional weapons, and progression tweaks; seasons 3–5 are set to deepen onboarding and expand the PV(P)VE extraction loop as the studio weighs long-term longevity amid Sony’s impairment loss.

Marathon Unveils Multiseason Blueprint to Broaden Its Player Base

Bungie outlines a multi-season plan to widen Marathon’s audience by adding PvE-focused modes, PvP-lite options, and improved onboarding and endgame.

Looking beyond, Seasons 3–5 will overhaul onboarding on Perimeter, deepen the extraction loop, and eventually integrate PV(P)VE play to keep Marathon evolving through 2027 and beyond.

Orthworm Finds Its Niche: Bulk Steel in PvP, Not PvE

Orthworm Finds Its Niche: Bulk Steel in PvP, Not PvE

Orthworm debuts as a bulky Steel-type with strong defenses and many resistances, but a weak Attack stat and lackluster moveset limit its PvE viability. In PvP it shines more as a niche pick thanks to bulk and typing, performing better in Great League (with Mud-Slap/Rock Tomb and Iron Head) and potentially Ultra League with XL investment, though it faces stiff competition from established Steel-types. Overall, it’s a low-priority PvE add but a watchful, experiment-friendly PvP option rather than a go-to staple.

Three Hidden Keys to Kingpin: Marvel Rivals Blood Hunt's Final Boss Guide

In Marvel Rivals Blood Hunt, Dracula is the headline boss, but three Hidden Objectives across different phases drop golden keys that unlock the real final boss, Kingpin, in Times Square after Dracula is defeated in phase 13. Complete Hidden Challenges: destroy the bridge barrier within 90 seconds (phase 4), destroy Bloodclot Buds (phase 7), and break the sealing magic circle within 120 seconds (phase 12) to earn the final key. Kingpin deploys two dangerous attacks—the cane trance with a follow-up beam and a shielded, explosive AoE after a leap—plus a boss charge, so stay mobile, use cover, and consistently deal damage to win. It’s advised to clear easier difficulties first, then attempt the Extreme difficulty challenge for the ultimate ending.

Gigaton Hammer Makes Tinkaton a Steel Raid Star on April 2026 Community Day

During the April 11, 2026 Pokémon GO Community Day, evolve Tinkatink into Tinkaton during the event or within four hours after to learn Gigaton Hammer, a 300-power charged move that dramatically improves its PvE DPS. Despite a modest base Attack (155) and CP cap of 2544, Gigaton Hammer elevates Tinkaton into a notable steel raid attacker and a strong pick for Party Play, though it’s still not the best Fairy attacker compared with others. The article suggests focusing on steel raids and XL candy farming (with potential future moves like Metal Claw) for best long-term value. This is a solid Community Day pick for players chasing shinies, Candies, and a unique hammer-wielding Steel attacker.

Kalos-Global PvE Guide: Wild Spawns, Raids, and Megas for GO Tour

Pokémon GO Tour: Kalos-Global runs Feb 28–Mar 1, 2026, introducing three habitats (Central Village, Mountain Manor, Coastal Laboratory) with Gen 6 wilds like Bulbasaur, Pidgey, Ralts, Chesnaught, Greninja, and more. Five‑star raids feature Xerneas and Yveltal, while new Super Mega Raids spotlight Mega Victreebel, Mega Malamar, and Mega Dragonite. The guide highlights top PvE attackers (Mega Pidgeot, Mega Gardevoir, Scizor, Greninja, Delphox), emphasizes farming XL candy and high‑IV candidates (notably Diancie and its Mega form), and covers eggs (2km–10km including regionals) to optimize your Kalos event raid team and overall PvE performance.

Flamigo's Meta Edge: A Spice Pick Worth the Grind

Flamigo's Meta Edge: A Spice Pick Worth the Grind

Flamigo, a Gen 9 Flying/Fighting Pokémon, is analyzed for Pokémon GO's current metagame. In PvE raids it underperforms compared with top Flying and Fighting attackers, while in PvP it offers spice via Double Kick, Upper Hand, and Brave Bird that can counter some meta threats, making it a potential anti-meta pick in Great League, but it's still outclassed in Ultra and Master Leagues. Grinding Flamigo may be worth mainly for an event Stardust bonus and for potential niche PvP uses; there is no signature move, only a Costar ability, and no guaranteed meta breakthrough. Bottom line: not a go-to raid pick, but a fun, spicy option for specialists and theme cups.
