The battle royale bonanza has continued to add figures from the world of pop culture, with the latest rumours suggesting a LEGO collaboration is next in the works.<\/p>\n<p>After adding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-ahsoka-skin\/\">Ahsoka Tano<\/a> in September and now building up to its live <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-big-bang-event-eminem\/\">Big Bang Event<\/a> \u2013 headlined by global rapping sensation Eminem \u2013 it seems that Fortnite has no plans to slow down.<\/p>\n<p>Already, suggestions of crafting, LEGO weapons, LEGO abilities and more have been doing the rounds, with some even suggesting it could be the equivalent of a \u201cwhole new game\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>While nothing official has been confirmed from Epic as of yet, there\u2019s plenty to discuss. To separate what\u2019s real, what\u2019s happening and what\u2019s bogus, we\u2019ve rounded up all the relevant details in one place.<\/p>\n<p>Head below for everything you need to know about LEGO\u2019s speculated collaboration with Fortnite and when we could expect it to land.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is LEGO coming to Fortnite? Why people are talking about it<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"qme\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83e\udd14 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mRpVT4Mcaj\">pic.twitter.com\/mRpVT4Mcaj<\/a><\/p>\u2014 LEGO (@LEGO_Group) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LEGO_Group\/status\/1726969227666477083?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 21, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"\/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, while Epic hasn\u2019t mentioned anything about any collaboration, LEGO, on the other hand, has sent out a cryptic message on social media. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The LEGO Group Twitter account (recently rebranded as X) posted an image of a LEGO Fortnite supply llama, one of the mascots used for the game \u2013 all but confirming something is in the works between the two brands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Back in April 2022, The LEGO Group and Epic Games entered a \u201clong-term partnership to shape the future of the metaverse to make it safe and fun for children and families\u201d. Most notably, LEGO invested $1 billion into the game\u2019s developer. With this, fans have been expecting the two companies to crossover in some way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Following this, game files for LEGO were leaked (via <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HYPEX\/status\/1725551358281965727?\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hypex<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">), with several further leakers then collaborating that the plastic bricks were on their way to Fortnite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> <h2><strong>When could LEGO come to Fortnite?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fortnite is set to end Chapter 4 Season OG on 2nd December 2023. It will conclude with The Big Bang live event, where rapper Eminem will appear in the game. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s fair to assume, then, that the LEGO collaboration will follow shortly afterwards, since the Danish brick company has already started teasing something related. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A datamine (via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HYPEX\/status\/1725551358281965727?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hypex<\/a>) suggested a release date of 7th December 2023. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If any official timings are announced by Epic, we\u2019ll make sure to update this piece.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What could the LEGO Fortnite collab entail?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">LEGO MODE INFORMATION (via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Krowe_moh?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Krowe_moh<\/a>):<br\/><br\/>- Has Crafting &amp; Auto-Crafting<br\/>- Custom Inventory<br\/>- Weapons &amp; Abilities<br\/>- NPCs that collect resources for you<br\/>- Ability to view the orbit<br\/>- POIs &amp; Biomes<br\/>- Custom Death UI <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/x0ByH6bRSJ\">pic.twitter.com\/x0ByH6bRSJ<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Shiina (@ShiinaBR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShiinaBR\/status\/1728760354853835010?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 26, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"\/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fortnite leaker <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShiinaBR\/status\/1728760354853835010\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shiina<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> shared details of what the collaboration may involve, such as crafting, auto crafting, lego weapons, abilities and NPCs that collect resources on behalf of the player. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, it was mentioned that there could be new points of interest, biomes, a custom death UI, and the ability to view the orbit. We\u2019ll have to wait to see if any of this comes true.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another well-known Fortnite leaker, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HYPEX\/status\/1725551358281965727?\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hypex<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, also detailed that players may get the chance to be a LEGO character in-game. A LEGO Stud Gun could also be added, as well as workbenches, beds, fences, catapults, map markers, zip lines and trinkets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether any of this will come to fruition is yet to be seen, but hopefully we won\u2019t have too long to wait to find out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> <div class=\"brightcove embed\"> <div class=\"embed__intrinsic\"> <div class=\"brightcove__player vjs-playlist-player-container\"> <video data-video-id=\"6340295100112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"default\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"video-js\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js\"\/> <p><strong>Fortnite is available across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X\/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC via the Epic Games Store.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/one-more-life-podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One More Life podcast<\/a>, subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/gaming-newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free newsletter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RadioTimesGames\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">follow us on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest gaming intel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something to watch?
