Summary

  • Marathon, the upcoming PvP reboot of Bungie’s classic FPS for Macs, has suffered problems during development, including staff layoffs and the departure of its former director due to misconduct allegations.
  • Bungie has now accidentally granted early access to the game to some players on Xbox, ahead of a closed alpha test due to begin on 23 April.
  • Twitch user “bomberboyz130” streamed one hour of gameplay until Bungie shut down the servers.
  • The developer has since clarified that this was due to a technical issue, which has now been corrected.
  • Marathon is scheduled for release on 23 September this year.
