Is LEGO Fortnite permanent? What the developers have said

Recreating numerous fan-favourite Fortnite characters in LEGO forms – such as Raven, Brite Bomber and Cuddle Team Leader – players will build defensive shelters, scavenge for Knotroot and Marble in deep caves and hidden areas, as well as collect resources and craft items before they head into battle either solo or with friends.

Unlike the battle royale's main mode that supports 100 people, only eight players can jump on the server, though.

It's one of many new experiments, as Fortnite Rocket Racing looks to offer high-speed racing in the style of Rocket League, and Fortnite Festival offers another mode that focuses on making music with friends.

This aside, one of the most common questions being asked now is whether LEGO Fortnite is permanent. So, as you jump into your new LEGO Fortnite seed, 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.

Is LEGO Fortnite permanent? What the developers have said

Yes, LEGO Fortnite is permanent. It is not a 'limited time mode' (LTM), as Epic reiterated with a post on X (formerly Twitter). The same goes for Rocket Racing and Fortnite Festival.

These experiences are described as "brand new games" that will "stick around" and even get "regular updates".

This all seems to be part of Epic's overall plan to expand into the metaverse, providing more and more ways for players to hang out on their platform whether they're into the main battle royale game or not.

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

Prior to the post above being shared there were some other statements. We've rounded up the comments made by the two companies below.

"Our 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," said The LEGO Group CEO Niels B Christiansen as part of the announcement.

"Together with Epic Games, we are building digital worlds designed with kids in mind from the outset - we hope other creators and brands are inspired to do the same."

Epic Games CEO and founder Tim Sweeney added: "LEGO Fortnite offers players a new way to express themselves through worldbuilding, and is an important step forward in the evolution of the Fortnite ecosystem.

"We 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."

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