Avoiding speculations after it was leaked, former Valorant Game Director Joe Ziegler confirmed that he is now leading #Marathon development in Bungie.
In 2022, Ziegler confirmed leaving Riot Games for an opportunity to work with Bungie.
Reportedly, Bungie is currently in a red alert mode after 2023 was not a good year in revenues as Destiny 2 failed reaching its goal and prompted immediate changes in current & future projects.
Apparently, the name coded game Matter (which many thought it was actually the next main project), was cancelled.
Ziegler now leading Marathon by replacing Christopher Barrett, signals that Marathon is having a sort of a soft reboot in development, all this while Bungie "blessed" a fan made remake of the original Macintosh game Marathon, now known as Classic Marathon.
A few months ago, it was suggested that Bungie needs the The Final Shape expansion for Destiny 2 A SUCCESS to avoid Sony as parent company, activate an clause that will allow Playstation to dissolve the current Board Of Director and Sony adding theirs, in a virtual folding of Bungie within Playstation Studios (Bungie was bought as an independent subsidiary).
