The situation around the upcoming action shooter Marathon is becoming increasingly tense after a few difficult weeks for the studio. It all started with the launch of a closed alpha version of the game, which received mostly restrained and mixed reviews. One of the reasons for the criticism was the lack of separate PvE. The developers wanted it, but Bungie did not hear them.

Bungie admitted the mistake and promised to fix everything, but this story has already seriously affected the perception of the game by fans.
