UFC superstar Conor McGregor now a main character on ‘Dystopia: Competition of Heroes’

Conor McGregor is a man of many talents. The Notorious One is a huge name in MMA and also the owner of some huge businesses, including his Irish whiskey company ‘Proper Twelve’ which has become a very profitable business since its launch in 2018. Despite that, the former UFC double champion is always looking to add something impressive in his list of accomplishments.

Recently, he added ‘main video game character’ to that list as he announced that he will be the main character of an upcoming Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game called ‘Dystopia: Competition of Heroes’. According to the game’s website, ‘Dystopia: Competition of Heroes’ will take place in a dystopian New York City. Players will be able to fight alongside McGregor as they look to defeat enemies, make moves to climb the ladder, and play against other players around the world.

“Every world needs a hero, In our case – it’s Conor McGregor,” reads the website.
