The sentiment around Marathon is "not great"

Bungie is in turmoil following the reestructuring plan coupled with the layoffs of hundred of employees. Things aren't looking great for the future of the studio and the projects in development.

According to him, the opinions of those involved in the project are far from positive. "[It's] Not great, from what I've heard", said Schreier.

"There's a reason it was planned for this year and slipped a whole year. People that I've talked to are a little pessimistic about it even hitting its current planned deadline, but we'll see. I don't know exactly when that is, sometime in 2025, I'm not sure."
