It'll be very interesting to see what happens with Marathon's plagiarism situation because it seems a lot of the stolen assets make up quite a big portion of the details that compliment the art style. They are supposedly conducting a full asset audit and investigation, and I wouldn't be surprised if this game gets delayed even with it not coming out for another 4 months or so. If they can't find a resolution in this respect then they'll either have to whip up something quick or leave the game looking plain. It'll be shite either way.
What's going to sink this game even more from a community standpoint is the amount of AI slop and contractors involved. Bungie used to be about the craft, innovation, vision and the team but now it's all about cost-cutting, property theft and temp employees to fill in gaps before AI finishes papers over the cracks. At this stage, being creatively bankrupt would be a massive improvement for them.
Not only will they be going toe to toe with Arc Raiders, they are also being branded 'Art Raiders' as the humiliations and bad PR continue. Former staff have begun speaking out against management in the past few years and it's not good hearing that either.
