Growth for LEGO Fortnite with major updates and new game launch

New changes to the world of LEGO Fortnite have begun to roll out, as LEGO Fortnite becomes a new, centralised location for family friendly LEGO play experiences within Fortnite.

A major game update for LEGO Fortnite Odyssey – the new name for LEGO Fortnite, the original survival crafting game which launched in December 2023 – launched on 10 December.

The update introduces all-new areas to explore, enemies to overcome and gameplay features. Epic Games and the LEGO Group will also be launching LEGO Fortnite Brick Life on 12 December – a social role-play game that invites players to make new friends, build their dream lifestyle, and move into a new home in the heart of a bustling city.

LEGO Fortnite is also now its own category within Fortnite, bringing together all LEGO content within the game as a centralised destination and underlining the commitment between LEGO and Epic Games for a long-term partnership.

“One year on from our unveiling of LEGO Fortnite, these launches reflect the LEGO Group and Epic Games’ ongoing commitment to continuing to bring even more varied and diverse play experiences to players of all ages,” commented Remi Marcelli, svp and head of LEGO GAME at the LEGO Group. “We’re sure that players are going to love the new adventures and ways to play as these updates bring to life a number of new dimensions of LEGO play on Fortnite.”
