Bungie's Newest Game Never Stood A Chance

Will Bungie's upcoming extraction shooter, Marathon, be canceled before it even releases?

Things have been going downhill the last few months for Bungie Studios. After being acquired by Sony, the team has been hit with layoffs, the firing of Game Director Chris Barrett over misconduct allegations, and multiple claims of plagiarism from artists like ANTIREAL.

In this video, we cover all of the problems plaguing development, the game's delay and potential cancellation, and what the future might hold for Marathon.

Bungie, the creators of Halo and Destiny, were once a beloved game studio. Their upcoming FPS game, Marathon - an extraction shooter similar to Escape from Tarkov - boasted a unique, colorful aesthetic and was one of the most highly anticipated releases of 2025.

Unfortunately, controversies have rocked the studio, and they are quickly becoming one of the most hated companies in the gaming industry. Can they recover and deliver the game people had hoped for?
