Lego delays Overwatch 2 set release due to problems with Activision Blizzard – Overwatch
February 1 heralded the arrival of the new Overwatch 2 set in Lego. Consisting of more than 900 pieces, we found Tracer and Mei busy confronting a massive robot, as we can see in a scene previously suggested by Blizzard. However, after the Activision Blizzard harassment scandals, Lego decided to postpone the release indefinitely, and announced that it was reconsidering its partnership.
This is the press release published by Lego:
We are currently re-examining our partnership with Activision Blizzard, given concerns about progress made to address persistent claims about workplace culture, particularly the treatment of female colleagues and the creation of a diverse and inclusive environment. As we wrap up the review, we will be discontinuing the release of the LEGO Overwatch 2 product that was scheduled to go on sale on February 1, 2022.
The partnership between Lego and Blizzard has been going on for several years now. Since 2018, we are actually entitled to several products including those for Jackal, Chopper, Bouldozer, Tracer, Fatale, Hanzo or even Genji and Gibraltar Card Shuttle. If you are interested in purchasing these products, I cannot recommend you enough hurry to buy itIn case the brand decides to cut ties with Blizzard.
