LEGO Fortnite was quite a surprise for players at the end of 2023, so in just a few days, it became very popular. It is not surprising since this sandbox survival game has an open world, various characters, enemies, and pleasant, branded LEGO graphics. In addition, the developers are not going to stop there and are preparing even more content, and you are probably wondering when to expect the next LEGO Fortnite update.
It is worth noting that the developers have not yet officially announced the dates of the next update. The same applies to the content and changes that will be added to the game. Fortunately, nothing can be hidden from data miners.
Before we take a closer look at the upcoming update, here's our guide showcasing how to heal in LEGO Fortnite, make sure to check it out. On top of that, you can also read our article on whether you can beat LEGO Fortnite.
Next LEGO Fortnite update release date
A week after the game was released, the developers updated the game where, at the request of players, they increased the durability of tools and weapons. Therefore, we are confident that we should not expect big updates until the end of the year. Instead, you should expect the next LEGO Fortnite update sometime at the end of January or in February 2024. Also, the developers can please players with new content after the end of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1, which falls on the beginning of March 2024. But much more is known about the content than about the dates.
