Fortnite is constantly experimenting and expanding the battle royale.<\/p>\n

The latest update arrives with LEGO Fortnite<\/a>, a new, free dedicated mode to the plastic bricks that has been built inside the game utilising Unreal Engine 5.<\/p>\n

Recreating numerous fan favourite Fortnite characters in LEGO<\/a> forms \u2013 such as Raven, Brite Bomber and Cuddle Team Leader \u2013 players will build defensive shelters, scavenge for gear in deep caves and hidden areas, as well as collect resources and craft items before they head into battle either solo or with friends.<\/p>\n

Unlike the battle royale\u2019s main mode that supports 100 people, only eight players can jump on the server, though.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of many new experiments, as Fortnite Rocket Racing<\/a> looks to offer high-speed racing in the style of Rocket League, and Fortnite Festival<\/a> offers another mode that focuses on making music with friends.<\/p>\n

This aside, one of the most common questions being asked now is whether LEGO Fortnite is permanent. So, let us answer this while also rounding up some comments from the developers to add some clarity about their intention for the new game mode.<\/p>\n

Is LEGO Fortnite permanent? What the developers have said<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Upon its announcement, LEGO and Epic Games confirmed that LEGO Fortnite is a new standalone game, meaning it is not limited-time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is part of Epic\u2019s overall plan to expand into the metaverse, so we expect it to be around for the long term.<\/p>\n

There are, of course, licensing agreements to take into account between both companies, but you would imagine these would be for a few years at least. Like everything, it will depend on its popularity \u2013 but in the meantime, LEGO Fortnite is as permanent as they come.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve rounded up some comments made by the two companies below.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur partnership with Epic Games is focused on developing digital play experiences that are designed to be fun and safe, and have the potential to bridge the worlds of physical and digital play to inspire kids,\u201d said The LEGO Group CEO Niels B Christiansen as part of the announcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether with Epic Games, we are building digital worlds designed with kids in mind from the outset \u2013 we hope other creators and brands are inspired to do the same.\u201d<\/p>

Epic Games CEO and founder Tim Sweeney added: \u201cLEGO Fortnite offers players a new way to express themselves through worldbuilding, and is an important step forward in the evolution of the Fortnite ecosystem.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to continuing to partner with The LEGO Group to build immersive digital play spaces that are fun for kids and all types of players.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fortnite is available across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X\/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC via the Epic Games Store.<\/p>\n
