LEGO Fortniteis releasing a major update, adding new building kit bundles and other quality-of-life improvements to Epic’s open-world building sandbox. Several new alternate modes were added toFortnitelast December, includingLEGO Fortnite,Rocket Racing,andFortnite Festival. As its name implies,LEGO Fortnitetransforms Epic’s already colorful characters into LEGO Minifigures and replaces the base game’s frantic battle royale gameplay with a more relaxed crafting and survival formula that draws inspiration fromMinecraft.
LEGO Fortnitehas been an overwhelming success so far, gaining higher player counts than the baseFortnitein its first few days. Over the past few months, Epic has been building onLEGO Fortnitewith new content like the popularStar Warscharacters andSpider-Man’sFortnite-exclusive Spider-Man Zero costumein Minifigure form. Fans were able to give suggestions for futureLEGO Fortnitecontent in a survey back in January, and recent leaks have hinted at new enemy types and the implementation ofFortnite’s popular Island Codes.
Epic will soon releaseLEGO FortniteVersion 29.00, which adds a host of new LEGO Minifigure skins and fixes to various bugs and glitches. However, the biggest addition will come on March 9, whenLEGO Fortniteadds new Kit bundlesto its Item Shop that will allow players to decorate their worlds with new buildings and other items. The first two of these offerings will be the Beachside Boulevard Bundle and the Durrr Burger Bundle, with a third one named the Lion Knights' Castle Bundle to be added on March 16. The prices of these bundles will range from 1,900 V-Bucks to 2,500 V-Bucks, translated to roughly $15 to $20.
