Overwatch LEGO Sets Leaked By Target
Overwatch continues its path to world domination with another, and possibly their finest, brand crossover. We’ve known that the unimpeachable title planned on releasing LEGO sets for about a month now. However, other than Tracer’s appearance in the teaser, we had no idea what the collection would look like. Thanks to Target, we now know what Blizzard and LEGO whipped up.
A leak from Target showed off several sets of Overwatch LEGOs and some unique figures. Most of them come with at least two of the title’s iconic heroes. The sets range from 129 to 730 pieces. For reference, the largest set ever, last year’s Millennium Falcon, contains 7,541 pieces. These won’t challenge veteran builders, but they’re sure to please Overwatch fans everywhere.
Unfortunately, no release date accompanied the image leaks. However, given that Target has the photos ready—plus common sense—fans should expect a release before Christmas.
Unlike most games before it, Overwatch has had no trouble with real world branding. You can eat Overwatch for breakfast. Fans can battle with “weapons” inspired by the game’s legendary heroes. You can support your main and your sneaker game simultaneously. You can decorate your desk and even charge your phone while repping Blizzard. And of course, the game has inspired unbelievable cosplays. If it wasn’t already clear, this franchise’s profit lacks a ceiling.
Halloween Terror 2018, the game’s annual October event, continues until October 31. Fans can acquire some incredible skins and play on spooky themed maps. For the seven people who don’t own the game, Overwatch is available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. While no announcement has been made, Blizzard stated that a Nintendo Switch version remains a possibility.
