Bungie unveils Marathon's first season, confirming that, yes, it'll wipe all your loot and progress every three months: 'Each season of Marathon brings a clean slate for the whole community'

Marathon's weekend Server Slam has only just finished, but with the game launching in a mere three days on March 5, Bungie's ready to talk post-launch plans, spilling the beans on Season 1 and how wipes will work.

Marathon Season 1, running from March to June, is called Death is the First Step, which is a pretty ominous name for the start of our pillaging efforts on Tau Ceti. Bungie explains that, as part of the season's narrative, players will "soon discover a way aboard the derelict UESC Marathon ship hanging above" Tau Ceti.
