Bungie has just revealed its latest game, called MARATHON. MARATHON will be a sci-fi PVP extraction shooter that will be coming to all current-gen platforms, including the PC.
In MARATHON, players will compete for survival, riches, and renown in a world of evolving, persistent zones, where any run can lead to greatness.
I thought they are making a remake. Oh how low they sunk. I wonder how many people from original team are left in Bungie.

You think Bungie has fallen because they are making an extraction shooter?
Bungie has been gone for a long long time. People keep giving them a pass for some stupid reason that is beyond my understanding. Activision was to blame for everything wrong with Destiny 2 before Bungie has proven that it was their doing. But that didn't stop the fans from supporting a developer that only knows how to do shooting, skyboxes and milk the cash from fans.
Release date is the same as Borderlands 4 on 23rd September.
Live chat already said it looks like Destiny DLC and “Concord 2” oof!
People are savage and they’re gonna get roasted with this one
I’m not a fan of extraction shooters but the art design and direction I do like.

Well, the devs/publisher deserve(s) all the flak thrown at them because this looks like a steaming pile of shit. I'm pretty sure the game's gonna flop, as people are sick and tired of this crap.
Just like the game, the aesthetic is a very mixed bag with probably more dislikes than likes lol. I like the visuals but I understand why people wouldn’t
Bungie has admitted that an external artist's work has been used within upcoming game Marathon without consent.
The issue came to light yesterday following recent playable alpha tests of Marathon, from which an artist recognised their designs had been used.
"The Marathon alpha released recently and its environments are covered with assets lifted from poster designs I made in 2017," artist Fern Hook wrote on social media.
"Bungie is of course not obligated to hire me when making a game that draws overwhelmingly from the same design language i have refined for the last decade, but clearly my work was good enough to pillage for ideas and plaster all over their game without pay or attribution."

Responding via its less-visible Marathon Dev Team social media account, Bungie wrote that it had "immediately investigated" Hook's claim and found that, yes, a former artist at the company had swiped the designs.
"This issue was unknown by our existing art team, and we are still reviewing how this oversight occurred," Bungie wrote. "We take matters like this very seriously. We have reached out to [Hook] to discuss this issue and are committed to do right by the artist.
"As a matter of policy, we do not use the work of artists without their permission," Bungie continued, stating - if it needed to be said - that the developer does not endorse plagiarism.
"To prevent similar issues in the future, we are conducting a thorough review of our in-game assets, specifically those done by the former Bungie artist, and implementing stricter checks to document all artist contributions," the publisher concluded.
This isn't the first time Bungie has faced claims of using artists' work without permission - with multiple instances coming to light regarding designs for Destiny 2.
I just realized Bungie took inspiration from my piece for this week's cutscene. Certainly took me by surprise when I watched the cutscene.#destiny2 #DestinyTheGame #Lightfall pic.twitter.com/aSpZ4SzFL0

Hey @Bungie @BungieHelp @DestinyTheGame @A_dmg04 @Cozmo23 @DestinyComArt soo, the NERF ace of spades DIRECTLY lifts a commission i did in 2015. This is not "similar" or a coincidence, you can see my same brush strokes and scratches/smudges.
"I don't have the resources nor the energy to spare to pursue this legally but I have lost count of the number of times a major company has deemed it easier to pay a designer to imitate or steal my work than to write me an email," Hook concluded.
"In 10 years I have never made a consistent income from this work and I am tired of designers from huge companies moodboarding and parasitising my designs while I struggle to make a living."
Bungie's Marathon reboot is set to launch for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on 23rd September. We recently got a solid look at the upcoming sci-fi shooter - here's everything about Marathon you need to know.
