Just a month after mass layoffs at Bungie, the studio is facing another significant change with the departure of Marathon game director Joe Ziegler. This move comes ahead of the mid-season 2 Marathon patch, which is set to drop next week.

The extraction shooter's assistant game director, Del Chafe III, will be taking over Ziegler's role, bringing a new perspective to the game's development. This change in leadership may bring about a fresh wave of updates and innovations to the game.
