In Fortnite, players and their friends lead a group of Heroes to reclaim and rebuild a homeland that has been left empty by a mysterious darkness only known as “the Storm.”

Players will band together online to explore the world for resources, build extravagant forts, find or build insane weapons and traps as they protect their towns from the strange monsters that emerge during the Storm.

Fortnite Battle Royale is the FREE 100-player PvP mode in Fortnite. One giant map. A battle bus.

The last one standing wins.

The world of LEGO Fortnite expands this week with a series of updates, including a brand new social roleplay game launching in Fortnite on December 12, LEGO Fortnite Brick Life. LEGO Fortnite, the original survival crafting game we launched in December 2023, will also see a name change to LEGO Fortnite Odyssey alongside a major game update on December 10, as “LEGO Fortnite” becomes the new hub for all LEGO adventures in the Fortnite ecosystem.

On December 12 LEGO Fortnite Brick Life goes live, a brand new social roleplay game where up to 32 players can live it up in the heart of a bustling city in Fortnite. Players can explore vibrant areas throughout the city, customize their dream home, take on jobs and interact with friends and other players through text chat. LEGO Fortnite Brick Life is an ever-evolving experience and will receive new content updates over time including new jobs, resources and events.

On December 10, the Storm Chasers update goes live in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey introducing a new mighty boss for players to battle, the Storm King! The update introduces gameplay improvements including an overhaul of the progression system and introduction of all-new crafting systems. 

Players can head to the LEGO Fortnite category in Discover to find LEGO Fortnite Odyssey, LEGO Fortnite Brick Life and all LEGO Fortnite Islands, both ones created by the LEGO Group like LEGO Tycoon: Tilted Towers and LEGO Chasers vs Hunters, as well as creator-made Islands.

LEGO Fortnite Brick Life

Make new friends, explore the sights, move into your dream home, and start building your lifestyle in LEGO® Fortnite Brick Life! It’s an all-new social roleplay experience in the LEGO Fortnite world, launching on December 12!

What is LEGO Fortnite Brick Life?

Pack up your bricks and pieces and step into an ever-evolving city, where you can build your own stories by interacting with both the environment and your fellow residents.

Gather your friends (and make new ones!) as you explore vibrant locales, like sunset-drenched beaches and the mysterious Mourndale Academy, alongside 31 other players. Become the ultimate socialite and hang out in restaurants, house parties, and rooftop clubs. Activities in LEGO® Fortnite Brick Life are better together too; host a band practice down the beach, grab a bite to eat with friends, or race through the streets on hoverboards.

You'll also decorate your own home with a wide range of LEGO furniture, afforded by taking on an assortment of jobs — from a mystical Fortune Teller to a hard-working Sushi Chef.

Start your dream job

 First things first, you’re going to need to make a living — which means you’ll need to get a job! Whatever you fancy, there’s a profession for everyone in Brick Bay. Here are just a few of the different roles you can take:

• Courier - Deliver parcels to other Brick Bay residents!
• Academy Professor  - Share your knowledge with the class at Moundale Academy.
• Security Officer - Make sure crime doesn’t pay.
• Scoundrel - Prank fellow city-goers.
• Sushi Chef - Serve up the tastiest fish in Brick Bay!
• Bobom Milk Tea Bobarista - Serve Brick Bay’s most refreshing beverage.
• Fortune Teller - What does your future hold? New furniture!

Fancy a career change? Go right ahead! In Brick Bay, you can take up a new job whenever you feel like it — no interview required! Try out all the different professions until you find your favorites. Keep an eye on your in-game Phone too, as businesses will occasionally send out calls for help.

Own your dream home 

Where will you go to relax after a hard day’s work? There are several empty lots found throughout the city where you can place a home — ranging from cozy suburban houses to sleek apartments and luxurious penthouses. Pick and purchase your very own home, then customize it to your heart's content! 

But before you get to that, you’ll need some stuff to decorate it with. Open up your Phone to access the Furniture Catalogue, where you’ll find a huge assortment of items you can use to personalize your new place! If you’re looking for something more unique, stop by the Furniture Shop right down the block, which regularly has brand-new items.

Already got some Decor Bundles and Builds boxed up and ready to go? Then you can use these in LEGO Fortnite Brick Life too — just look for the cross-compatible icon in your Locker.

Please note: While most Decor Bundles and Builds from LEGO Fortnite Odyssey are cross-compatible with LEGO Fortnite Brick Life, a small selection of especially large Builds will not be available for use at launch. However, these will be supported in the near future, so stay tuned for updates!

Explore and meet new residents

After a hard day’s work, unwind with your friends! There’s absolutely tons to see and do across Brick Bay, so grab your best pals and see what’s out there. As you get to know the city, you'll meet new LEGO faces as well as other players. Say hello to those you meet who are out and about using text chat. You can choose who you chat with in Fortnite’s Settings. 

You can also interact using any Emotes or Jam Tracks (including the use of Jam Loops — a first for LEGO Fortnite!) in your Locker, providing they are compatible with the LEGO Fortnite universe. Don’t forget to show off your style using your existing Outfits, too.

Explore everything Brick Bay has to offer

There’s something for everyone in Brick Bay; you’ve just got to know where to find it! This bustling bricktropolis is full of interesting locales to explore, landmarks to admire, jobs to try out, and so much more. Not sure where to head first? Here are a few recommendations:

• Town Square: There’s nothing square about this Town Square. As the center of Brick Bay, it’s the ideal place to meet your friends for a coffee and then head out for your urban adventures.
• The Beach!: The purr-fect place to catch the sun! Head to the beach and get a tan on the sunbed, zip along the coast on a hoverboard, visit Cozy Paws Cafe, work out at MeowSwole’s Gym, or listen to tunes by the stage. 
• Mourndale Academy: It might be dark, but it’s full of bright ideas. Explore Brick Bay’s home of mystery and spellcasting. Be sure to stop by the school and check out a potion class!

The Rooftop Club Grand Opening!

Have you noticed some construction going on in the city? The Rooftop Club will have its grand opening on December 18, and you're all invited! Pick out your best Outfit for when the doors open and prepare for a party overlooking the entire city. The Rooftop Club will be the first of many new additions opening up in Brick Bay. Stay tuned for more info!

All you have to do is earn XP in Fortnite while playing through the Fortnite Mobile App, downloaded via the Epic Games Store or other supported storefronts, by February 21.

Then this Outfit will be waiting for you in your Locker when the promotion begins. Players who are linking their accounts for the first time will also unlock the Explorer Emilie Outfit.

LEGO Fortnite Odyssey!

When you head into Discover, you’ll see LEGO Fortnite is now its own unique category within Fortnite. There, you’ll find LEGO Fortnite Odyssey, LEGO Group-made islands, creator-made LEGO islands, and LEGO Fortnite Brick Life, a new social roleplay experience launching on December 12!

In LEGO Fortnite Odyssey the Storm King has thundered onto the scene in the survival mode’s latest update: Storm Chasers! With his storm-wild legion, led by Raven, the Storm King has everything he needs to complete his sinister quest to consume all. It’s up to you and your friends to stop him!

Find the Storm Chaser Village, meet new friends, and build up the strength to take down this electrifying evil. As you go about your journey, battle all-new foes, brave perilous dungeons, and build powerful new weapons using improved crafting mechanics. 

Your Journey Begins With the Storm Chaser Village!

You’re not the only one trying to fight back against the Storm King… so are the Storm Chasers! You’ll find this heroic ensemble of do-gooders, including their determined leader Carl Ruckus and the big-brained Meteorologist Dr. Borrasca, taking cover in the Storm Chaser Village. 

As you get to know the crew, they’ll give you goals to complete while you’re out on your adventures that’ll help you progress toward your ultimate goal of defeating the Storm King. Got various requests to complete? Keep track of your progress using your handy Journal! From here, you can also pin goals to your HUD to easily track them from across your current world. 

Head Out Into the Storm

You’re gonna need more than an umbrella to deal with these storms. The Storm King’s invasion has warped the very fabric of reality, causing enormous storm systems to appear at random locations across the map! 

There are tons of secrets waiting for those brave enough to venture into these shrouded areas… just try not to get zapped by Lightning Strikes as you explore.

You'll find a Storm Dungeon at the center of the storms, each of which holds a fragment of the Storm King’s electrifying power at its core. Navigate your way through the dangers to strike a blow to his almighty influence, and get one step closer to liberating your world. Just be careful as the closer you get to the end, the bigger the dangers you’ll have to contend with!

Once you conquer a Storm Dungeon, the surrounding storm will disappear – meaning you’re free to explore the area without fear of being zapped. But it won’t take long for the Storm King’s thunderous might to recharge. After 24 hours, conquered Storm Dungeons are reborn with new pathways, dangers, and puzzles. Be prepared to conquer a new challenge every time!

Introducing the Villains!

Prepare to take on the Storm King’s Acolytes! This ferocious faction of fanatics is causing havoc throughout the worlds of LEGO Fortnite Odyssey. Keep your eyes peeled for the Acolyte’s most Elite units, who have special abilities granted to them by the villainous king himself. Be wary of the Storm Crawlers too, they give a nasty shock!

Raven

The Storm King’s right-hand man! Raven will appear somewhere within the world after you’ve helped the Storm Chasers significantly advance their village. Defeat this fearsome foe, and you’ll be able to break the arcane lock keeping a mysterious gateway at the centre of your world’s largest storm closed…

The Storm King

Send this menacing monarch back to his own dimension! Step through the gateway after taking down Raven and you’ll be teleported to the Storm King’s lair. This multi-stage boss battle will be the ultimate test of your wits, battle skills, and survival instincts — bringing along some friends for reinforcements is highly recommended. 

Emerge victorious, and you’ll be well-rewarded for your heroic efforts with epic loot! Drops include the Thunderclap Blade, Cyclone Pickaxe, and Shatterhorn Fragments, which you can use to craft powerful weapons and improved tools. But the fight isn’t over just yet… After 24 hours, the Storm King will power back up! Gather your friends and take him down again to earn more rewards.

New Adventure? New Gameplay Mechanics!

The Storm Chasers Update comes with an electrifying number of gameplay improvements, from an overhaul of progression systems to all-new crafting systems.

Progress your adventure anywhere, anytime

From the dusty sands to the frozen wildlands — the enemy difficulty has now been equalized across biomes, giving you the freedom to take your adventure anywhere you choose! To improve balance further, the health and damage of enemies have also been adjusted across the board.

Component-based Crafting

Build your way out of any situation, with whatever you’ve got to hand. The Storm Chasers Update introduces Component-based crafting, meaning you’ve now got more flexibility to decide which materials you’d like to use to build your favorite weapons and tools. But think carefully, as the quality of the materials you decide to use when crafting will affect the attributes and rarity of the end result. 

Several improvements have also been made to resource-gathering to make it more intuitive. Wood, Stone, Metal, Gem, and Rift are each assigned a Power Tier that conveys their rarity, with Wood being the lowest (Common) and Rift being the highest (Legendary). 

The Legendary Forge

Build your ultimate end-game weapon! The Legendary Forge is an upgrade station you can build to boost your gear to new heights. Imbue a Tier 4 weapon or Tool with Rift Crystals, unlocking its yet-untapped potential. You must then use the Rifted item to increase the Rift energy flowing through it, until it evolves into its final form, unlocking hidden stats! The Storm King won’t know what hit him.

Down but Not Out

Peely is down, someone help him up! When you run out of health, other players and NPCs can now revive you and get you back into battle. 

Vehicle-Guided Builds

Travel the world in style with these new guided Builds! The Lil’ Barge is just the thing for minifigures who prefer to keep dry while navigating the waters, while the speedy Storm Chaser will get you from A to B in no time. You can unlock these Builds by progressing through the Storm King’s Questline.

Bring along a friend with Couch Co-Op!

The Storm King will fall twice as fast with two heroes! LEGO Fortnite Odyssey is fully compatible with split-screen on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.

Here’s a quick reminder on how to access split-screen in LEGO Fortnite: 

• Start Fortnite and go to the LEGO Fortnite Lobby.
• Connect the second controller.
• Select the second player's console account. (Note: Guest and Quick Play console accounts are not supported.)
• After picking a console account, Fortnite will automatically ask the player to link their Epic account. (If they link their Epic account, they can access their Locker Outfits, Passes, Quests, and other progress.)
• After the second player is logged into Fortnite, they will appear in the Lobby.
• Hold onto your bricks… Split-screen mode will automatically begin when you start LEGO Fortnite!

LEGO Pass: Chill & Thrill

Taking down the Storm King is thirsty work, so grab a refreshment at Peely’s Juice Bar! This Decor Bundle is just one of the oddities you’ll find to add to your Odyssey in the Chill & Thrill LEGO Pass! 

The Chill & Thrill LEGO Pass will use the newly announced progression system. That means it’ll be included as part of Crew and will be progressed using XP acquired from any source across Fortnite! This pass will also have only one track, including free and premium rewards.

There are five Decor Bundles you can grab for free in the Chill & Thrill Pass, as well as two Loading Screens, three Player Banners, and the Raven’s Mausoleum Build. They say it’s where villains like to roost. 

You’ll be able to unlock an additional 11 Decor Bundles by purchasing the Premium Reward Track upgrade for 1,400 V-Bucks, including the Lounge Tent and Arcade Tent! There are also extra Builds up for grabs, including the Main Stage Build as the final Premium reward in the Pass.

After purchasing the Premium Reward Track upgrade, you’ll instantly unlock the Raven Team Syd Outfit. Whether you’re using its LEGO Style or Fortnite Style, it’s hauntingly cheerful.

Heads-up! The LEGO Chill & Thrill Pass will be available to progress until March 11 at 4 AM ET. Its free rewards, premium rewards, and the Raven Team Syd Outfit reward are not exclusive to the Pass, as you may be able to purchase them in the Fortnite Shop later.

Unlock the Mr Dappermint Outfit!

Want to look minty fresh during your battle against the Storm King? Connect your LEGO and Epic Games accounts together from December 10, and you’ll automatically unlock the Mr Dappermint Outfit, as well as the Explorer Emilie Outfit! 

Already linked your accounts? Then the Mr Dappermint Outfit will be waiting for you in your Locker when the promotion begins.
