Lego Overwatch sets officially debut at BlizzCon
After being teased, Lego's Overwatch sets are now ready to fight for glory.
Overwatch fans, it's time to build.
Lego Overwatch sets were officially revealed Friday during BlizzCon -- Blizzard's annual convention -- bringing depictions of characters and vehicles from the game like Tracer, Widowmaker, Hanzo and more into Lego sets. The Overwatch sets were teased last month and even inadvertently leaked by Target and in reports by Kotaku, but now they're official with full details.
These sets will become available on Jan. 1, 2019 and are designed by Woon Tze Chee.
