A Hasbro spokesperson told Entertainment Weekly on Tuesday that the game was released in September, months before the movie came out, and Rey wasn't included to avoid revealing a key plot point.
But the controversy was already trending, with #WheresRey and #WhereIsRey hashtags flooding feeds.

Hasbro also noted that its other "Force Awakens"-themed games include Rey, and it sells 6-inch and 12-inch action figures of the character.
