Bungie is being sued for copyright infringement by a writer who claims the studio copied his “original work about a unique and captivating fantasy world” for Destiny 2’s Red War campaign.
The lawsuit (as spotted by TheGamePost) was filed with the US District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana by author Kelsey Martineau. He accuses Bungie of “deliberately copying and appropriating [his] copyrighted content”, arguing aspects of Destiny 2’s Red War storyline – its antagonistic Red Legion army, in particular – were taken “directly” from an original work published via Wordpress years before the (now vaulted) Destiny 2 campaign’s 2017 release.
According to the lawsuit, Martineau, using the pen name Caspar Cole, authored his “original work about a unique a…

Halo Studios has said it will now develop all future Halo projects using Unreal Engine 5, the Epic Games-made toolkit for game development that’s used widely across the industry.

Read morePathologic, the acclaimed plague-themed horror series from developer Ice-Pick Lodge, is returning for a third instalment, this time slinging time travel into its gruelling, emotionally draining mix of intentionally dispiriting survival and haunting theatrics.
The newly announced Pathologic 3 is something of an oddity in that it’s technically, sort of, the second chunk of Pathologic 2 – itself a half sequel and half (much-improved) remake of Ice-Pick Lodge’s cult-classic 2005 original. Pathological 1 – which, as with all entries in the series, charts the sudden decline of a strange, small town on the edge of the Russian Steppe as it slowly succumbs to a mysterious plague – memorably had three playable characters and three distinct routes through its 12 days of i…
