From what I can tell, it came out in late 2024. This is a quote from the summary:
75 YEARS OF INFINITE POSSIBILITIES • In 1949, Lego revolutionized the toy industry, and millions of imaginations, by introducing little bricks that allow for structured play and spontaneous creativity—often simultaneously.
