Bungie’s Marathon Gets Encouraging Update

A major controversy hit the game *Marathon* in May 2025 when accusations of plagiarism surfaced, alleging that its art style heavily copied the work of an independent artist. This, along with ongoing management problems and negative fan reactions, likely led to the resignation of Bungie’s CEO, Pete Parsons, and Sony’s decision to bring the developer under the PlayStation Studios umbrella. Despite these challenges, work on *Marathon* is still moving forward, and a playtest for an updated version is planned.
