The collaboration was first revealed in December 2021 and was set to be released in February 2022. This comes amidst the recent controversies surrounding Activision Blizzard that expose the ugliness of its workplace culture, prompting LEGO to reconsider its relationship with the video game holding company.
“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,” said a LEGO spokesperson.
The ripple effect of those controversies is being felt, and when the dust settles, hopefully, the industry will be a healthier place.
Brandon shapeshifts between being a nerd and a geek like Mystique, but with fewer options. He reads an unhealthy amount of comics and manga, while playing a healthy amount of board games and video games.
