IO Interactive, the renowned creator behind the Hitman series, has decided to part ways with Conor McGregor, the well-known mixed martial artist.
This announcement surfaced on their Twitter account following the outcome of a civil lawsuit, where McGregor was found liable in a rape case brought against him. The studio underscored the gravity of the situation by stating it couldn’t turn a blind eye to the court’s verdict.
Previously, McGregor had made an appearance in the game’s The Disruptor DLC.
“In response to the recent court ruling involving Conor McGregor, IO Interactive has chosen to immediately end its association with the athlete. We regard this issue with utmost seriousness and are mindful of its ramifications,” the studio tweeted.
Following this decision, they will initiate the process of removing all content related to McGregor from their sales platforms starting today.
