Rumors Swirl as Sony Pauses Marathon’s Marketing Amidst Possible Delay

In recent years, **Bungie** has faced allegations of plagiarism on four separate occasions. The most recent scandal, which occurred in the middle of the month, has only worsened the already troubled reputation of **Marathon** among gamers. Due to this controversy, rumors have circulated online that **Sony** has canceled the game’s marketing campaign, as **Marathon** may experience yet another delay.

This information was brought to light by former IGN editor **Colin Moriarty**, who cited his sources within the studio:

Given the situation, journalists have begun to speculate that another postponement is unavoidable. The atmosphere is further clouded by various reports from within **Bungie**. Different sources claim that team morale is in a state of decline, with developers expressing a lack of belief in the project and dissatisfaction with their leadership, which they describe as toxic and humiliating.

Nevertheless, representatives from **Bungie** have not yet provided any official comments on this matter, while the launch of **Marathon** is still scheduled for September 23 of this year. The game is set to be available on PC (**Steam**), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series, complete with full Russian localization.
