At the beginning of this year, Bungia on an unlimited delayed delayed delayed report on plagiarism admitted that it “needs”[s] More time. “Studio said that in the autumn it will share a new release date, but Sony CFO Lin Tao gave us a leash a little early.
“We expect to start in the fiscal year,” she said during Q&A about the company's latest financial results (as stated by VGC). “Now we are making development of development and based on progress in the autumn time frame we believe that we can communicate, when we can run, either from Bungia or PlayStation.”
We expect to start in the fiscal year.
The current fiscal year ends 31 March 2026, which gives us a window where the marathon could run. But Tao stressed that the game could face another delay. “It's not a commitment,” she explained. “No official announcement has been issued yet.”
Sony limits Bungie's independence and plans to better integrate the team into PlayStation Studios
When Marathon delayed from his original edition on 23 September, and the controversy bubbling not only the alleged plagiarism of the game, but the latest Destiny 2 expansion, Sony decided to enter and better integrate the team into Playstation Studios.
“At the time of the acquisition, we offered a very independent environment,” Tao said. “But then we went through the structural reform, as we announced last year, so this independence is lighter and Bungia is moving to a role that becomes more part of PlayStation studies, and integration is.
“So in the long run, if you see it as an ongoing process, direction [for Bungie] is to become part of PlayStation studies. ”
There were also concerns about the worst scenario, in which Marathon is directly canceled, to which Tao answered: “Now we are solving problems, so we believe that this will happen. If this start is canceled, we must revise the award; but this is not expected now.”
