Bungie’s Marathon was reported to have used stolen art, but the matter has now apparently been resolved. The artist who originally brought the claims against Bungie has now announced that the issue “has been resolved with Bungie and Sony Interactive Entertainment to my satisfaction.”
No further details were divulged regarding the nature of the matter and how this closure came to be. People are theorizing that the artist received a settlement payment, but that is not confirmed.

After the art theft claims came to light earlier this year, Bungie responded to say it “immediately investigated” the concerns, and “confirmed that a former Bungie artist included these in a texture sheet that was ultimately used in-game.”
It’s great to hear that the issue with the stolen art in Bungie’s Marathon has been resolved. It’s always important for creators to protect their work and ensure originality. Looking forward to seeing how this impacts the game’s development!
