The massively popular battle royale has taken great strides throughout recent years to expand its brand beyond the signature game, with everything from in-game events to new spinoffs. Fortnite has featured a wide array of crossovers with different media properties, ranging from anime like Naruto and Dragon Ball Z to movies like The Fast and The Furious. Now, Fortnite is once again returning to one of its most lucrative partnerships.
Fortnite and LEGO have a long history of working with one another, with one of the game's spinoffs even centered around the iconic building blocks. LEGO Fortnite served as one of the game's first major spinoffs, bringing a sandbox survival experience similar to Minecraft utilizing LEGO blocks. Fortnite has also teamed up with LEGO to release multiple physical sets, including buildable structures and miniatures based on some of Fortnite's most iconic skins. Epic Games is now pairing up with LEGO once again to launch three new sets.
