About Maps in Marathon
In Marathon, maps are called zones, and each one has its own feel, layout, and level of danger. Right now, the main map lineup includes Perimeter, Dire Marsh, Outpost, and Cryo Archive. Three of them are surface zones on Tau Ceti IV, while Cryo Archive is set aboard the UESC Marathon and serves as the game’s end-game zone.
This page is here to give you a clear look at every Marathon map in one place. If you want to understand how the zones are different, which map is better for early runs, or where the harder end-game content starts, this is where that picture starts to make sense.
Perimeter is the first step for most players. It sits on the outskirts of the colony and works as the beginner-facing zone. Dire Marsh is the colony’s agricultural research hub and feels like the next step up once you are ready for a little more pressure.
Outpost pushes things further. It is set inside a UESC military installation and unlocks at Runner Level 12, which makes it part of the higher-progression side of Marathon’s map pool. Cryo Archive is the fourth zone and the end-game space, which requires you to reach Runner Level 25 and unlock all six Factions in the game.
