IO Interactive, the creative minds behind the Hitman series, have decided to part ways with the renowned mixed martial artist, Conor McGregor. This announcement came via Twitter following a significant legal outcome where a civil case against McGregor, accused of rape, concluded in favor of his accuser. The studio emphasized the gravity of the court’s decision and its impact on their actions.
McGregor had previously been featured in the Hitman universe as part of The Disruptor DLC. However, the recent developments have prompted IO Interactive to take a firm stand. “Due to the court ruling concerning Conor McGregor, we’ve determined it’s best to end our collaboration with him, effective immediately,” the studio shared. They highlighted the importance of the issue, stating that ignoring the court’s implications was not an option.
In line with this decision, IO Interactive will start removing all McGregor-related content from their platforms, a move that reflects their commitment to handling the situation with the seriousness it deserves. Fans can expect these changes to roll out starting today, following the studio’s announcement.
