Overview
- Fern “Antireal” Hook said the Marathon art issue has been resolved with Bungie and Sony to her satisfaction, without disclosing terms.
- Neither company has detailed the agreement, and outlets note speculation about a financial settlement that remains unconfirmed.
- Bungie previously confirmed a former artist placed copied elements on a decal/texture sheet used in-game, apologized, and pledged to “do right” by the artist.
- The studio removed affected assets, paused showing gameplay during reviews, and implemented stricter asset checks to prevent recurrence.
- Marathon was delayed in June from its September 2025 date, and recent reporting cites Sony’s target to launch by March 2026.
