so there's been some drama going on behind the scenes with bungie and their former marathon director, christopher barrett. basically, he got fired back in march 2024 and then sued sony and bungie, claiming they breached his contract and defamed him. but now, it seems like all that drama has finally come to an end.

it's worth noting that bungie has been going through some tough times lately. they just laid off a bunch of people and stopped working on new content for destiny 2. it's a shame, because i know a lot of people love that game. but hey, at least we have marathon to look forward to - it's coming out in 2026 for pc, ps5, and xbox series x/s. i'm not really sure what to expect fromRead more: Full article on www.rockpapershotgun.com
