It’s been five years since the Piece of Resistance stopped the Kragle. Now, Bricksburg is Apocalypseburg—a jagged, neon-scarred city under constant siege from the Duplo invaders. You’re Emmet Brickowski, still smiling, still building, still believing everything is awesome, even when no one else does.

Lucy calls you naive. Benny’s lost an arm. Unikitty’s permanently red. MetalBeard runs black-market bricks. And your friends? Gone. Vanished searching for the Duplo homeworld.

Then General Sweet Mayhem arrives in a flash of glitter and lasers, kidnapping them all. She leaves a message: 'The wedding will unite us all.'

You beg the Master Builders to help. They laugh. 'You’re not tough enough, Emmet.'

So you build a ship. Alone. You punch through the Stairgate, hurtling into the unknown. That’s when you meet Rex Dangervest—galaxy defender, archaeologist, cowboy, raptor trainer. He says he’ll help. He says he believes in you.

But as you soar toward the Systar System, you wonder: what if being awesome isn’t enough? What if you have to become someone else to save them?
