The studio is conducting an audit to ensure no other graphics in 'Marathon' were lifted from artists 'without permission or acknowledgement.'

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.

Following a recent claim from an artist that Bungie stole her artwork for Marathon, the developer has now responded — confirming the theft, and promising to conduct a review of the game's assets.
