In LEGO® Fortnite, players can explore vast, open worlds where the magic of LEGO® and Fortnite come together. You can:

Play as some of your favorite Fortnite characters, such as Brite Bomber, Cuddle Team Leader and Raven - but in LEGO® style.

Collect food and resources, create items and fight enemies alone or with friends.
Build a shelter for defense and customize your ultimate home base, then recruit villagers to gather materials and help them get through the night.
Rest and dive into deep caves in search of rare resources, hidden areas and enemies.

The LEGO® Fortnite journey is just beginning, with new world building, gameplay features and more LEGO® Style Outfits in updates starting in early 2024. Fortnite is free to play on PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™, PC on the Epic Games Store and on cloud-based game streaming services.

LEGO® Fortnite is rated E10+ by the ESRB. All Fortnite experiences, including LEGO® Fortnite, use Epic Games' parental control and safety features.

LEGO® Fortnite is built in Fortnite and powered by Unreal Engine 5. It uses features such as Chaos physics and destruction to allow players to place, connect and disassemble bricks just as they would in the real world.

The game uses World Partition to stream all 95 square kilometers of playable space (that's 19x the size of Fortnite Battle Royale Island!) and uses the Procedural Content Generation (PCG) framework to create dynamically detailed environments.

The LEGO® Group already uses the Unreal Engine in its broad portfolio of play and content experiences, including LEGO DREAMZzz™ and LEGO NINJAGO™. The two companies also use Unreal Engine to build digital twins for thousands of physical LEGO elements, and are working to make them available to creators in the Fortnite Ecosystem in both UEFN and Fortnite's Creative tools by 2024, to bridge the worlds of physical and digital play like never before.

The LEGO® Group and Epic Games will unveil even more LEGO games in Fortnite starting early next year.

Niels B. Christiansen, CEO of the LEGO® Group, said, "Our collaboration with Epic Games is focused on developing digital play experiences that are designed to be fun and safe, and have the potential to bridge the worlds of physical and digital play to inspire children. Together with Epic Games, we are building digital worlds designed from the ground up with kids in mind - we hope other creators and brands will be inspired to do the same."

Tim Sweeney, CEO & Founder, Epic Games said, "LEGO® Fortnite offers players a new way to express themselves through worldbuilding and is an important step forward in the evolution of the Fortnite ecosystem. We look forward to continuing to work with The LEGO® Group to build immersive digital play spaces that are fun for kids and all types of players."
