Bungie’s Controversy Over Marathon’s Artwork
Bungie’s upcoming extraction shooter Marathon faces allegations of plagiarism after artist Fern Hook accused the company of using her original artwork in the game’s alpha. Hook noted that her designs were used without permission or attribution, prompting Bungie to acknowledge that a former artist included her work in a texture sheet without the team’s knowledge. Bungie is currently reviewing in-game assets and has reached out to Hook, but it remains uncertain how this will affect the game’s September 23 launch.
