Deadpool Pulled from Steam, Xbox Live Marketplace, and PlayStation Network Following License Expiration

[Shawn Zipay]

It looks as though the Deadpool game may be harder to come by as of just a few hours ago tonight. It appears as though Activision's license for the franchise expired and has now been removed from all digital retailers across all platforms.

A similar fate befell the 007 franchise at the end of 2012 when Activision lost the publishing rights to that franchise. If you failed to pick up Deadpool during any of the holiday sales, you can still pick it up at places like Amazon. However, it may be safe to assume that once that stock sells out, it will no longer be available for purchase there either.

Activision has not yet released a statement on the matter.
