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.

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

Bungie is, once again, being accused of using the designs of an independent artist without permission, pay, or attribution. In a post on X earlier today, visual artist Antireal said that Marathon's environment art uses design elements pulled directly from her 2017 poster designs.
