Summary
Fortniteannounced that its new LEGO Fortnite mode, releasing on December 7, will contain hundreds of LEGO-style skins for players to use. These skins are LEGO recreations of their regularFortnitecounterparts. This will include every Epic-madeFortniteskin, as well as some licensed character skins from crossover events.
LEGO Fortnite has been rumored for some time now, and the mode was officially revealed on December 2. It will be playable from within the regularFortniteapp and aims to create a more kid-friendly environment. In a departure fromFortnite’s popular battle-royale mode,LEGO Fortnite is a survival crafting gamethat may focus on PvE rather than PvP. It’s unclear how interwoven the new mode will be withFortnite’s battle royale, but it looks like skins in particular will be making the jump over toLEGO Fortnite.
In a tweet posted to LEGO Fortnite’s Twitter account, it was revealed that over 1,200Fortniteskins are receiving LEGO makeovers for players to use in the new mode. Not everyFortniteskin is included in this number, likely due to licensing issues with some of the skins that came from crossover events. Players will need to own the regular version of a skin to unlock its LEGO-style version. Simply go to the Locker section inFortniteto view the LEGO-style version of one’s favorite skins.
Epic Games, the developer behindFortnite, also announced that LEGO Fortnite will receive regular additions of more LEGO-style skins in the future, as well as LEGO-style emotes. Following the announcement ofEpic Games' partnership with LEGOover a year ago, this newFortnitemode has been highly anticipated. When the partnership was first announced, the two companies explained that they were aiming to create an environment withinFortnitethat focuses on protecting children’s safety, privacy, and well-being. It’s still not fully clear how these values will materialize within the new mode.
While the mode is still unreleased, some ofLEGO Fortnite’s details are knowndue to leaks. The mode will feature mining, which allows players to harvest various ores in order to build LEGO-style structures using the game’s building tool. LEGO Fortnite will also feature its own map, in which players can partake in various adventures across a LEGO-themed world.
Over the years,Fortnitehas become a hub for various crossover events. However,Fortnite’s LEGO crossover may become the most significant one yet, with the two brands commanding massive pull with younger demographics. The addition of a unique map and an assortment of new game mechanics suggests that Epic is looking at this with a long-term scope.
