The long-anticipated collaboration between LEGO Group and Epic Games is finally materializing into a thrilling new gaming experience. The official reveal of a LEGO Fortnite game, a fusion of creativity and survival gaming, is set to take place within Fortnite universe this week on December 7!
Evolution of a Metaverse: Enter the LEGO Fortnite Game!
The idea behind this groundbreaking game stems from a collaboration envisioned in April 2022. LEGO and Epic Games aimed at crafting a kid-friendly “metaverse”, and its consequent LEGO Fortnite game was born. This visionary endeavor sought to synergize the unique expertise of both companies, setting the stage for what promises to be an extraordinary gaming experience.
LEGO Fortnite Game: An Unprecedented Venture
The crux of this collaboration, the LEGO Fortnite game, has emerged with an official trailer offering a sneak peek of things to come. Check the official teaser below courtesy of IGN.
While the trailer is a brief 22-second tease, it introduces LEGO versions of beloved Fortnite characters like the Supply Llama and Brite Bomber. LEGO’s announcement emphasizes the game’s intent to merge the best elements of both realms, fostering expansive exploration within vast open worlds and stimulating creative building with its iconic bricks.
The LEGO Fortnite Game: What to Expect
Scheduled to debut within Fortnite, the LEGO Fortnite game promises a unique gaming and open-world experience within the larger Fortnite universe.
It is also good to know that it managed to obtain an E10+ classification, aiming for a wider audience compared to Fortnite’s base game, rated T for teens. This shift hints at a potentially immersive gaming experience, with more emphasis on the game’s collaborative survival mode.
Glimpses of the LEGO Fortnite Universe
Beyond today’s 22-second teaser trailer, we can somewhat catch a glimpse of what to expect from the LEGO Fortnite game, including some of its more prominent game features.
Several reports indicate mining mechanics, a versatile building tool with nine schematic slots, alongside health and energy systems. Unique in-game actions, like resting in a bed to rejuvenate health and stamina, and mining ores for materials, are also poised to shape a uniquely different gameplay experience.

A Multifaceted World Beckons in the LEGO Fortnite Game
LEGO’s official press release and captivating promotional artwork also seem to hint at things to come. The LEGO Fortnite game will most likely include three distinct biomes: a rugged desert, lush forests, and snow-capped mountains.
Iconic Fortnite characters—Peely, Cuddle Team Leader, and Brite Bomber—stand out against the backdrop. The Nightmare Shark Ship from the LEGO DREAMZzz set and the Lizard Man also hints at the game’s potential to combine diverse themes into a monumental sandbox adventure.
Here’s LEGO’s full press release.
