IO Interactive has decided to end its partnership with Conor McGregor following a recent court ruling. The MMA fighter has been found liable in a civil case related to serious allegations, resulting in a substantial financial obligation to his accuser. This verdict has prompted numerous organizations and individuals to distance themselves from McGregor, including the developers at IO Interactive.
The two entities had previously teamed up to create an Elusive Target mission within the game, where McGregor took on the role of a unique character known as The Disruptor. However, in response to the developments surrounding the court case, the mission will now be removed from the game. IO Interactive released a statement announcing their decision to end the collaboration, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation and its potential impact. In their statement, they mentioned that they would start the process of removing all content associated with McGregor from their game platforms immediately.
If you didn't take advantage of the opportunity to experience this collaboration before its withdrawal, a video showcasing gameplay against the character can be found below.
