Marathon Reportedly 'Hasn't Exactly Made the Splash' Sony Wanted
Marathon has not had quite the impact that Sony and Bungie were hoping it would, one analyst has claimed. The lead-up to the extraction shooter's March 2026 release was fraught with controversy, from an AI art scandal to reports of a nosedive in morale among developers, but the game managed to break through it all and launch to generally favorable reviews. While Marathon may have overcome a few hurdles up to this point, it hasn't exactly been smooth sailing.
