While we await any news on Bungie’s Marathon, for which the studio promised a release date update this Fall, it can at least put one controversy to rest. Artist Antireal, whose assets were stolen by a former employee and significantly influenced the game’s art style, reveals that the issue has “been resolved.”
“The Marathon art issue has been resolved with Bungie and Sony Interactive Entertainment to my satisfaction,” she said on Twitter. Whether that means compensation alongside the developer completely removing said assets remains to be seen. Regardless, at least someone has had a happy ending after this mess.
In the meantime, Bungie will be hosting another closed playtest from December 12th to 15th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC in North America. Since it’s a day after The Game Awards, you have to wonder if the extraction shooter is due for an announcement. Even if a release this year is unlikely, Sony expects it to arrive by March 31st, 2026.
While you wait for updates, check out details from the last playtest here, including the addition of two new Runners – the Medic and Scav.
