Bungie Accused of Plagiarizing Yet Again: ‘Marathon’ Seemingly Lifts Assets from an Artist’s Original Work without Their Knowledge

On Thursday, independent artist ANTIREAL discovered her original artwork, some of which dates back to 2017, seemingly used throughout Marathon‘s in-game environments and promotional materials. Using screenshots of in-game footage, the artist spotted many of her original assets plastered over the game’s environments. Through posts on X and BlueSky, ANTIREAL shows side-by-side comparisons of her artwork in Marathon, including instances of her own original logo in the game.

As of now, no one representing Bungie has commented on ANTIREAL’s artwork in Marathon.
