Fortnite is becoming much more than just Save the World and Battle Royale, and its transformation starts today as LEGO Fortnite goes live. Essentially a whole new game, it's now available to play — after you've downloaded the latest game update, that is.
When you boot up Fortnite, you'll be greeted with a launcher screen that lets you choose LEGO Fortnite or any of the other games and modes on offer. Once you've chosen the LEGO Fortnite portal, you can create a new randomly generated world and begin your survival crafting adventures. You can choose between Survival and Sandbox modes; the former has you gathering resources and fending off enemies, while the latter takes out the danger and lets you build whatever you want.
The new trailer, embedded above, gives you a good idea of what to expect. It really does look very similar to Minecraft in many ways, just with a LEGO skin. It should be good fun, especially in co-op.
Will you be diving into LEGO Fortnite today? Let us know in the comments section below.

Having never even thought about playing it before the Lego fan in me was interested, but then the trophy fan in me saw this:
I was going to try it out but it really does just look like Lego Minecraft and I only played Minecraft for a few hours over a week and that was that. Suppose I’ll check to see if there is XP to level up, no mention of that in the article.🤷🏻♂️
On a somewhat related note I played Lego 2K Drive yesterday b/c PS+ Ess and it was total trash. Maybe b/c of the 100 hours I’ve played Disney Speedstorm the past 2 months but I found the vehicles nearly undriveable and I’m not sure there is a way to get out. The races themselves weren’t bad, won every one first try, but jumping over barns, collecting pigs and tumbleweeds, nearly impossible and not the least bit fun.🤪
So I guess what I’m trying to say is I’m going to try this to see if Epic and Fortnite can make a better Lego game than Lego made. And if I can earn a couple of levels just by checking it out…👍
@Anke You do need to buy the portion of Fortnite that has the trophies. It's not the multiplayer battle royale part.
@CKFilms ahh, in that case maybe I'll give the Lego one a quick shufty to see what it's like. Thanks!
Only played a couple of hours so far but it’s really good. I can see myself playing this more than Battle Royale tbh.
@ItsBritneyB_tch
Do you get Xp for BP doing the lego stuff? As may play more of the LEGO mode as not really feeling the BR mode this season and the OG season and this season XP seems a real slog for some reason
So, is either (or both) of these new modes single-player by any chance? And if so, do they require a PS+ subscription to play?
Are there trophy’s for this Lego thing?
Release this as a standard game and I’ll easily pay $50… But I’m not redownloading Fortnite to just play this.
This is honestly more interesting to me than base Fortnite.
@ItsBritneyB_tch Did you play solo? I don’t think I’m getting it. The lack of fast travel, but more importantly a compass or minimap, is really bothering me. And trying to put a roof on, even with the L2 snap, is too much work. I’ve got 3 “villages” up to level 3 spread over the bottom middle of the map w/ a crafting bench and mill but that’s it. Guess it’s just not for me, back to BR mode.
@OptimusPrime1 I played single player. After you get the village to level 2 or 3 you can have an NPC follow you around.
@bindiana I played survival for a couple of hours, gained 6 levels, went in at 8, came out at 14 w/ 30 stars. Don’t ask me how though.🤷🏻♂️ I played for another hour after that, gained another 2 levels, 1 for going into a cave.
