Bungie is reportedly in the midst of a creative leadership shakeup that has resulted in the studio replacing game directors on its PvP reimagining of classic 90s shooter series Marathon, with former Valorant game director Joe Ziegler now confirmed to be in the role.
Bungie designer Christopher Barrett was previously leading the project – described as a “sci-fi PvP extraction shooter” – but when reports began circling that he was no longer in the role, Joe Ziegler took to social media to confirm he was now in the game director’s chair.
“For the last nine Months I’ve been working on Marathon as the game director,” Ziegler wrote in a post on Twitter/X. “We’re still baking, but I’m excited to share with you more info on the game as we get closer and closer to bringing it to all of you.”
