Bungie is being accused of plagiarizing artwork for its upcoming game Marathon by artist 4nt1r34l, who showcased comparisons of their original creations with assets from the game. Following the allegations, a Bungie statement acknowledged that artwork made by a former artist had indeed been used without permission. While Bungie confirmed their commitment to rectify the situation and adhere to copyright practices, they are conducting a thorough review of in-game assets to prevent future issues.
"We immediately investigated a concern regarding unauthorized use of artist decals in Marathon and confirmed that a former Bungie artist included these in a texture sheet that was ultimately used in-game."
"This issue was unknown by our existing art team, and we are still reviewing how this oversight occurred. We take matters like this very seriously."
