From the creative and curious minds of LEGO® Masters winners Jackson Harvey and Alex Towler comes LEGO® storytelling like nothing else.
THE YEAR IS 2130
Humanity’s reign has ended but the world is slowly recovering and showing signs of new life – one brick at a time.
LEGO minifigures have risen from the debris to craft intricate civilisations inside discarded objects – each one inspired by the relic they now call home.
Taking LEGO storytelling and artistry to new heights, A New World Rises explores an imagined future, one that might not be as far removed from reality as we think. Step into the future. Discover the past. And inspire your own LEGO worlds.
