Lego delays Overwatch 2 set

For gamers, there are few things better than getting your hands on the perfect game-related merchandise. It’s even better when that merchandise is a meticulously crafted replica of one of your favorite characters in an upcoming game, making it an ideal collector’s item or gift to share with your friends. However, if you were planning on picking up the upcoming Lego Overwatch 2 set , you might have to wait a little while longer to get your hands on it.

What happened?

If you’re a fan of Overwatch, then you might want to hear about a delay in an upcoming Lego product that was supposed to be out by now. According to a press release from Lego, there has been a delay on their newest brick-building kit, which was supposed to hit shelves in time for Christmas but has been pushed back until April of next year. This is due largely in part to their evaluation of their business relationship with Activision Blizzard who makes and publishes many popular video games including Call of Duty, Destiny and Warcraft. This may also result in some other products being delayed or even canceled as well, though Lego says they plan on releasing future sets based on other popular titles from other companies over time.

About Overwatch 2

OverWatch 2 is a first-person shooter video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. It was released in May 2016 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It is a sequel to 2014’s critically acclaimed OverWatch, and its latest release was announced at BlizzCon 2016. In it players control one of several heroes that battle each other across different game modes using a variety of character abilities to secure objectives or complete bonus objectives to win an encounter. The game features squad-based combat with two opposing teams of six players each, competing in matches lasting five to twenty minutes depending on mode played. Players choose one of several hero characters, each with their own unique abilities and role classes.

Final Thoughts

It’s pretty clear that these relationships have been a problem for a while. Lego is extremely protective of its image and has developed global brand recognition around its blocky figurines. We expect Activision Blizzard to seek out another licensing partner soon but won’t rule out Lego being involved again at some point in the future.
