Tofu Bunny later clarified their belief that a third-party contractor may be responsible for the alleged design theft, rather than Bungie itself. Regardless, Tofu Bunny adds that the entire situation "feels like a punch in the gut. I've been playing this game for a decade and this just sucks."
A Bungie spokesperson said that the studio is "investigating internally and with our partner" before noting that the company has reached out to Tofu Bunny as well.
Similar accusations have been leveled at Bungie before, but the company was quick to respond to Tofu Bunny in the message below.
On social media, a user who goes by Tofu Bunny posted a link to their original artwork for the Ace of Spades Nerf gun from 2015 and placed images of that artwork side-by-side with the upcoming release. There are definitely some strong similarities between the two, almost on a one-to-one basis.
