Marathon isn’t even slated for release until this September, but Bungie’s extraction shooter is already in trouble. A gameplay reveal livestream already had potential players divided, but a much more serious issue has since emerged in the form of plagiarism allegations. Now, following Bungie’s admission that some of Marathon’s art assets were directly lifted from a designer without permission, a report alleges that the studio’s staff and leadership have been left unsure of the game’s fate as its launch approaches.
Bungie did not immediately respond to Inverse’s request for comment.
