They actually can't make a game based on the 2018 Winter Olympics. Ubisoft bought the game rights already for an Olympic-themed update to their snowboarding game Steep.
IIRC they do have the rights to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
For anyone wondering how Overwatch got away with their Summer Olympics themed update back in 2016, they cleverly never actually said "Olympics". They only used the phrase "The Summer Games", which meant they could bypass getting the rights.
Sorta like saying "The Big Game" instead of "The Super Bowl".
