Bungie has changed Marathon’s game director, reportedly as part of a wider shake-up of the project’s creative leadership team.
While Christopher Barrett was Marathon’s game director when the sci-fi extraction shooter was announced last year, the Bungie veteran has since been replaced.
Former Valorant game director Joe Ziegler, who left Riot Games to join Bungie in 2022, has since stepped into the role.
