LEGO has detailed the new sets and TV show launching next month for LEGO Ninjago: Dragons Rising.
The fresh new direction for the brand introduces new ninja characters Sora and Arin, and a baby dragon character Riyu.
“We wanted to create a new LEGO Ninjago world with exciting characters and elements that invites new fans in and stays true to the iconic legacy,” said Nigel Kong, Head of Product for LEGO Ninjago.
“So, as well as welcoming back our well-known ninjas, we are equally excited to introduce new fantastic ninjas and dragon characters. This follows research we did with kids back in 2021, which showed they really wanted dragons to be front and centre of the new story.”
The LEGO NINJAGO: Dragons Rising sets are on sale from June 1st.
