Fortnite, the ever-evolving free-to-play title, today adds a new mode to its LEGO Fortnite branch.

Expeditions is its name, and it differs from the other LEGO experiences by focusing on PvE co-op combat.

Players will team up and take control of minifigures in one of three classes — Shadow Caller, Rift Ripper, and The Hunter. Each one plays differently of course, and alongside a choice of weapons, they give you plenty of ways to play Expeditions.

The mode is structured with Missions, where up to four players battle various enemies in waves across a trio of maps, with more coming later down the line.

Completing Missions earns you XP and goes towards Team Projects — buffs and upgrades that impact all players. Not just you and your squad mates; all players. It puts us in mind of Helldivers 2 and its cumulative global objectives.

It seems that Expeditions will be somewhat linked with Fortnite's Battle Royale mode, sharing season theming (Super being the current one) and guest characters like Superman making an appearance.

It's out today and accessible in Discover or directly from other LEGO modes Odyssey or Brick Life.
