Along with the standard platform licensing, Ubisoft would need to involve the comic’s creator Bryan Lee O’Malley, the comic’s print publisher Oni Press, the film’s producer Universal Studios, and the game’s soundtrack composer Anamanaguchi. No reason has been stated for the game’s delisting but it was most likely the result of Ubisoft’s expired licensing from the numerous property holders involved.
Download codes for the game and its long-delayed DLC remained available into 2017 but have since sold out and have likely expired. The PlayStation 3 version was likely delisted on or near the same date. Confirmation of the game’s removal came from Twitter user lifelower who tweeted about a handful of high profile delistings on the same day.
The World: The Game was delisted on Xbox 360 no later than December 30th, 2014.
