Spotted by Marathon Bulletin on
X (formerly Twitter), Julia Nardin has updated their
LinkedIn profile to reveal the new role at Bungie. Nardin started as a Narrative lead in 2019, working on Destiny, and became the narrative director in 2022 for Marathon and Destiny: The Final Shape. In May 2025, Nardin was promoted as the Creative Director for Marathon.
Recently, there was also a
report about Marathon cancelling all planned paid marketing, which suggested that the game could either be facing a delay or could be cancelled altogether. With the company appointing a new creative director so close to its expected release, it suggests that we could receive an announcement for the delay soon. However, players should wait for official communication from Bungie to know for sure.
