IO Interactive has announced it will remove all of the post-launch content featuring Conor McGregor in Hitman 3 after a court ruled he raped a woman and must pay charges of more than £200,000.

In a post to Twitter, the developer said: "In light of the recent court ruling regarding Conor McGregor, IO Interactive has made the decision to cease its collaboration with the athlete, effective immediately. We take this matter very seriously and cannot ignore its implications. Consequently, we will begin removing all content featuring Mr. McGregor from our storefronts starting today."



Conor McGregor was an Elusive Target in Hitman 3, and missions let players hunt him down and kill him as Agent 47. In addition to the level, IO Interactive sold a DLC pack that contained cosmetic items specific to Conor McGregor, like a fur coat. It won't be available for purchase henceforth, but it's not clear yet whether those who have already bought the DLC pack will still have access.

In-game, McGregor's voice and likeness are used for a character named The Disruptor. While available in limited-time stints, it was set to be part of the game until 8th December 2024. Conor McGregor has stated he will appeal the verdict.
