Lego Fortnite is a whole new survival crafting game that lives within Fortnite. You'll get Lego versions of your favorite characters and will be tasked with starting a world. Monsters are around, so first on the itinerary is building a campfire, shelter, and some weapons.
Lego Fortnite is now out, allowing players to jump into a huge open world where they'll need to build to survive. There are Lego versions of many of your favorite characters, and even a handy tutorial to help get you started.
