What’s new in Lego Fortnite?
Now that vehicles have been properly added to Lego Fortnite, players have been busy building everything from huge trucks to lightning-fast racers. Looking ahead, Epic Games has detailed the Farm Friends update. More about that below.
Lego Fortnite was launched late last year and since then the survival/building game has been regularly updated with new content. We’ve added vehicles, as well as a steady stream of new outfits and items to keep players excited.
In many ways, Lego Fortnite is considered a separate game from the core Fortnite Battle Royale experience. While it might live indoors Fortnites launcher, it offers a completely different experience that is more like a survival crafting game Minecraft.
Players start with nothing and must gather resources to gradually build their camp, unlocking new items and technology in the process. In our initial Lego Fortnite review we praised the game’s devilishly more progression loop, as well as its beautiful open-world design.
Here’s when you can expect the next one Lego Fortnite update, as well as some information about what was added in the most recent patch. Expect this page to be updated regularly, given how often Epic Games continues to tweak the brick-based survival game.
When is the next Lego Fortnite update?
Epic Games has detailed the Farm Friends update, which will release on April 23. Players can finally breed and befriend animals, with new Animal House buildings that can be assigned to livestock. In addition to the update, new villagers, dangerous creatures and animal variants are also added. You can read more on the Fortnite blogging.
In addition, a Star Wars collaboration will launch on May 3, 2024. Lego skins also continue to appear regularly in the game, with the most recent being Avatar: The Last Airbender characters Toph, Zuko and Katara.
