We’ve arrived at the end of the week and it’s just about time to close up shop for a long holiday weekend, but there’s still been plenty of news this week and we’re going to recap the hottest stories on another episode of the Shacknews Dump!

On this January 14 edition of the Shacknews Dump, we dive into the recent decision by Lego to delay a planned Overwatch set due to Activision Blizzard’s poor leadership. Meanwhile, Kirby and the Forgotten Land is giving us more hope than ever for its launch with a fantastic recent reveal of gameplay and features including co-op and fishing. Nintendo isn’t the only one showing off cool things though. IO Interactive also unveiled its lofty plans for new Hitman 3 Year 2 content throughout this coming year.

Check it out as we recap these news stories and more on the Shacknews Dump, going live on the Shacknews Twitch channel at 1:45 p.m. PT / 4:45 p.m. ET. You can also watch the show just below.

Here’s the rundown of topics coming at you on today’s Shacknews Dump:

• LEGO delays Overwatch 2 set amid Activision Blizzard controversy
• Kirby and the Forgotten Land release date set for late March 2022
• Hitman 3 Year 2 stream reveals Elusive Target Arcade, Freelancer Mode, & PC VR
• Dying Light 2's main story alone may require about 100 hours of your time
