Bungie Launches Review After Uncredited Artist Controversy

Bungie is in hot water again as allegations of plagiarism emerge regarding their upcoming title, Marathon. Recently, a visual artist named Antireal accused the studio of using their original designs without permission, pointing out distinct graphics from their work featured in the game’s environments. This controversy follows a history of similar claims, including a lawsuit over plot elements from Destiny 2 and accusations related to a fanart-inspired NERF gun. Bungie has since initiated an investigation, attributing the issue to a former artist and expressing their commitment to resolve the matter and prevent future oversights.

Bungie is facing accusations of using an artist's work without authorization in Marathon, prompting the studio to launch an investigation and review their asset creation process.

Marathon is an anticipated sci-fi shooter that revives a classic franchise from the early 1990s, set in a universe known for its complex lore and innovative gameplay. This reboot aims to introduce the series to a new generation while maintaining its signature style that fans cherish.
