Conor McGregor Cut From Hitman Game Following Assault Case Verdict

The MMA fighter was found liable in a 2018 civil assault case and ordered to pay over $250,000 in damages, prompting IO Interactive to sever ties immediately.

Conor McGregor was found liable in a Dublin civil trial for assaulting Nikita Hand in 2018 and must pay approximately $260,000 in damages.
The jury's decision followed a two-week trial where McGregor denied the allegations, claiming the encounter was consensual, and announced plans to appeal the ruling.
In response to the verdict, Hitman developer IO Interactive ended its collaboration with McGregor, removing all in-game content featuring his likeness and voice from storefronts.
McGregor's character, The Disruptor, was introduced in Hitman: World of Assassination earlier this year as part of a DLC pack and a limited-time mission.
This development adds to McGregor's history of controversies and marks the first brand to publicly cut ties with him following the court ruling.
