Gamescom 2018: New Teaser For Overwatch Lego Sets

During Gamescom 2018, the Lego Group teased that an announcement concerning a collaboration between Overwatch and Lego is coming soon. The teaser depicted the outlines of six Lego figures, each stylized after one of Overwatch's heroes.

From left to right, the six figures appear to be Widowmaker, Reinhardt, Genji, Soldier: 76, Mercy, and McCree. Neither the Lego Group or Blizzard would comment further on what the two companies' collaboration might entail, but Blizzard did promise to announce new Overwatch content at Gamescom on Wednesday, August 22. So we might be finding out pretty soon. [Update: Blizzard did not address the new Lego partnership during the Overwatch presentation.]

This isn't Overwatch's first partnership with a toy company. Earlier this year, Hasbro announced that the company "signed a licensing agreement with Blizzard Entertainment to become the global master toy licensee for the Overwatch franchise."

During, Blizzard's Overwatch presentation the company unveiled a new animated short for D.Va, which does a good job of fleshing out the haughty MEKA pilot and teaching people the importance of asking for help. Other than Overwatch, Blizzard has panels and presentations planned for Heroes of the Storm, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, World of Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo.

You can easily keep track of the company's full schedule via the "Blizzard at Gamescom 2018" app, but we've also outlined it below. Times are listed in GMT+2.
