LEGO Fortnite created a new era for the fans of the game. This game puts a fresh spin on the classic Fortnite experience by focusing more on building than fighting. It's a place for players of all ages to express their creativity, build towering fortresses, and design villages.  Battle playful monsters, and let your creative ideas come to life in the universe of LEGO Fortnite. Here is everything you need to know about it!

What is LEGO Fortnite?

LEGO Fortnite is a game developed by Lego and Epic Games. It works as a separate game within Fortnite, which you must install first. Both games are free from Epic Games. LEGO Fortnite is less intense than the original Fortnite and targets younger players with its E10+ rating, making it suitable for children over 10.

In LEGO Fortnite, the gameplay focuses more on creativity, resembling Minecraft more than Fortnite. Players collect resources and convert them into LEGO bricks, using these bricks to build various structures. This style encourages more creativity and less combat, setting LEGO Fortnite apart from the traditional Fortnite gameplay.
