Bungie replaces Destiny director, hints at less customization in upcoming Marathon game
• Bungie has brought on a new game director for Marathon, Joe Ziegler, replacing Christopher Barrett after 9 months unannounced • The move hints at shifts away from promised player customization to a hero shooter style with selectable characters • This possible change is being poorly received by longtime Bungie/Destiny fans who expected character customization • The shift may be to differentiate from Tarkov or better accommodate monetization like expensive skin bundles • With the 2025 release timeline, it's unlikely Bungie changes course again, disappointing fans of Destiny/Halo-style customization
