Lego Fortnite’s new ‘social role-playing experience’ looks like a cute GTA Online

One of gaming’s biggest collaborations gets even bigger on December 12 with the launch of Lego Fortnite Brick Life, which looks a lot like Grand Theft Auto Online if the target group was 6 year olds.

A short video released alongside Monday’s announcement shows popular Fortnite characters like Banana Guy, Fish Man, and Pink Bear Lady (these may not be their real names) hang out in an entirely Lego world. They race through the busy city streets on souped-up neon motorcycles, they pull off elaborate treasure heists and they personalize dream homes and apartments with racks of Lego guitars. Banana Guy even trips…on a banana. Wild.

In his announcement post, Fortnite Developer Epic Games described Lego Fortnite Brick Life as “a brand new social role-playing game in which up to 32 players can have fun in the heart of a vibrant city.”

“Players can explore vibrant areas of the city, customize their dream home, take on jobs, and communicate with friends and other players via text chat,” Epic said. “Lego Fortnite Brick Life is an ever-evolving experience and will receive new content updates over time, including new courses, resources and events.”

But it’s not all fun in the sun. Lego Fortnite Brick Life players can also take on a variety of jobs to fund their lavish lifestyles, from the mundane-sounding courier and security guard to more charming careers like ‘milk tea bobarista’ and fortune teller.

When Lego Fortnite Brick Life launches later this week, it will be included in a new, all-Lego section Fortnite‘Discover’ menu next to the previously released crossover, which is now called a survival mode Lego Fortnite Odyssey. Most items will apparently be compatible between the two experiences, with support rolling out for “mainly large builds” in the near future.
