Bungie, the gaming powerhouse behind hit games like Halo and Destiny, has been hit with fresh plagiarism accusations after a digital artist claimed the closed alpha for its new game Marathon is “plastered” with artwork lifted from her designs. The company has admitted to using stolen art and is waging a desperate PR campaign to save its upcoming game.
Destiny on “legacy” consoles has been essentially retired and will wrap up the remainder of its existence with minimal support from Bungie.
At this year’s E3, I interviewed Bungie’s Scott Taylor on co-operative shooter Destiny’s new expansion Rise of Iron, player concerns, and hints toward the game’s inevitable sequel.

Bungie’s first-person shooter Destiny will receive an expansion titled The Taken King on September 15 for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3. The expansion makes significant changes, raising the level cap, changing the loot system, focusing on new gear while leaving old items behind, and recasting the voice of Ghost.
