Celebrate National Video Game Day with LEGO® Gaming Sets

Toronto, ON – National Video Game Day is coming up on September 12, and the LEGO Group is giving fans a new way to celebrate their favourite virtual worlds—by building them brick by brick.

From Minecraft® to Mario Kart™, Sonic the Hedgehog™, Animal Crossing™, and Fortnite, LEGO has partnered with some of the world’s biggest gaming franchises to create hands-on sets that blur the lines between digital and physical play.

LEGO Brings Gaming Culture to Life

Gaming culture continues to expand beyond the screen, influencing fashion, entertainment, and even toy trends. At Fan Expo Canada in Toronto last month, LEGO showcased its gaming collaborations with immersive zones where fans could build mini classic consoles, explore life-sized models, and purchase exclusive sets.

The company’s mission is to allow fans of all ages to unlock creativity across platforms, offering new ways to engage with beloved characters and adventures.
