LEGO Fortnite release date

LEGO Fortnite modes

According to leaks online from insiders, the LEGO Fortnite crossover is not just a bunch of new skins, but an entire new game. It will include crafting and auto crafting, plus a custom inventory, along with unique weapons and abilities. You will be helped by NPCs that will help bring in resources for you, plus there will be new places or interests and biomes and a custom Death user interface.

Even more, it seems like an actual LEGO Stud Gun could also be added to Fortnite's already quite big arsenal of weapons. Along this new weapon, there will be workbenches, beds, fences, catapults, map markers, zip lines and trinkets. Of course, perhaps not everything we listed might come to the game, but there's not much long to wait to find out.

When we have more official information about how the mode plays we'll update this section accordingly.

LEGO Fortnite styles are here!

You'll be surprised to hear that LEGO Fortnite skins are technically free. That's right, you can't buy unique LEGO skins in Fortnite, but rather, they are styles that come with certain skins in the game.

There will be a total of 1,200 LEGO Fortnite skins so chances are you already own a few that can be converted into LEGO.
