Story of Nexo Knights
The story takes place in a world that mixes medieval times with a futuristic setting. Five young knights are the heroes: Clay, Aaron, Lance, Princess Macy, and Axl. They work together to protect their home, the kingdom of Knighton, and its main city, Knightonia.
Their main enemies are Jestro, the Book of Monsters, and their army of Lava Monsters. The knights get help from the Knightonia Royal Family, a digital wizard named Merlok 2.0, Robin Underwood, and Ava Prentiss.
New Villains and Challenges
In the third season, the Cloud of Monstrox appears. He was once the Book of Monsters. He takes control of Jestro again, making him help find special "Forbidden Powers." The Cloud of Monstrox uses his evil lightning to bring Stone Monsters to life.
Later, Jestro and Monstrox team up with a sculptor named Roberto Arnoldi. Roberto helps them create things out of rock for their evil plans.
Show's Ending
Even though new LEGO sets for the series were still being made, the TV show was stopped. It ended with a cliffhanger, meaning the story didn't have a clear ending. In 2018, LEGO announced that the toy theme would also be stopped. This officially confirmed that the TV series would not continue.

Lego NEXO Knights: Merlok 2.0 was an action battle mobile game. It was released for Android and iOS devices on December 19, 2015. Players had to play through the game to "Save the Kingdom." Each of the five knights had a special shield. Each shield would unlock a "Nexo Power" for the player to use. The more powers unlocked, the stronger the player became. Later, "Combo Powers" were added when using the battle mech suits. These shields could be found in Lego sets, blind bags, and even in pictures shown in the TV series, mini-movies, and magazines. The game is no longer available.
