Comment: The game mode has its own separate draft at Draft:Lego Fortnite (video game). This draft will remain here in-case The Lego Group confirms a line of physical retail sets. SlySabre (talk) 20:22, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Lego Fortnite (stylised all caps) is an upcoming Lego theme based on the online video game of the same name. It is licensed from Epic Games, which The Lego Group's parent company itself, Kirkbi A/S, currently holds a 3% ownership stake in. The theme will be released sometime in 2024, while promotional sets were released to tie-in with the game mode the year prior.

Background[edit]

On April 7, 2022, Epic Games announced that they had entered a partnership with The Lego Group, and while details were scarce, the two companies were working on creating a "metaverse" designed for younger audiences.^[1] As a result, Lego's parent company, Kirkbi A/S, invested US$1 billion into Epic Games.^[2]

A year later on November 21, 2023, Lego uploaded a teaser to Twitter unveiling the Supply Llama from the game made out of Lego bricks, thus confirming that the collaboration was underway.^[3]
