LEGO is communicating briefly today about the marketing of the Overwatch 2 set 76980 titanium by announcing that the availability of this video game derivative, initially scheduled for February 1, 2022, is postponed to a later date.

The reasons for this postponement which could also result in an outright withdrawal of the product: the multiple accusations of sexual abuse within the company Activision Blizzard which had led last November more than 150 employees to demonstrate in front of the headquarters of the editor to request an independent audit and the resignation of Bobby Kotick, the boss of the company. To these accusations is added a complaint lodged by an official Californian agency noting a culture of harassment and a salary policy that promotes inequalities between men and women within the company.

LEGO has therefore decided to reassess the relevance of its partnership with the publisher and will communicate its decision shortly:

We are currently reviewing our partnership with Activision Blizzard, given concerns about the progress being made to address continuing allegations regarding workplace culture, especially the treatment of female colleagues and creating a diverse and inclusive environment. While we complete the review, we will pause the release of a LEGO Overwatch 2 product which was due to go on sale on February 1, 2022.
