Marathon delayed indefinitely after plagiarism controversy & player feedback
Since Bungie announced the reboot of its beloved Marathon series in 2023, it has experienced a turbulent journey. The studio has endured two rounds of layoffs, resulting in the loss of 220 jobs, particularly in 2024. This instability was further compounded by frequent changes in leadership. The original game director, Chris Barrett, was dismissed for misconduct and is currently engaged in a lawsuit against both Bungie and Sony.
