Marathon's Development Reportedly Cost Over $200 Million

A recent analysis says Marathon's development budget exceeded $200 million.

The scope of that figure is unclear, so it may not cover all spending.

Paul Tassi of Forbes said the total was likely higher than $250 million.

Bungie delayed Marathon indefinitely after negative early playtests, pushing launch back more than five months.

The project also faced an AI art scandal and reports of lower morale, though it launched to positive reviews.
