Officially Revealed: A LEGO Fortnite Game is Coming Out This Week!

The long-anticipated collaboration between LEGO Group and Epic Games is finally materializing into a thrilling new gaming experience. The official reveal of a LEGO Fortnite game, a fusion of creativity and survival gaming, is set to take place within Fortnite universe this week on December 7!

Evolution of a Metaverse: Enter the LEGO Fortnite Game!

The idea behind this groundbreaking game stems from a collaboration envisioned in April 2022. LEGO and Epic Games aimed at crafting a kid-friendly “metaverse”, and its consequent LEGO Fortnite game was born. This visionary endeavor sought to synergize the unique expertise of both companies, setting the stage for what promises to be an extraordinary gaming experience.

LEGO Fortnite Game: An Unprecedented Venture

The crux of this collaboration, the LEGO Fortnite game, has emerged with an official trailer offering a sneak peek of things to come. Check the official teaser below courtesy of IGN.

While the trailer is a brief 22-second tease, it introduces LEGO versions of beloved Fortnite characters like the Supply Llama and Brite Bomber. LEGO’s announcement emphasizes the game’s intent to merge the best elements of both realms, fostering expansive exploration within vast open worlds and stimulating creative building with its iconic bricks.

The LEGO Fortnite Game: What to Expect

Scheduled to debut within Fortnite, the LEGO Fortnite game promises a unique gaming and open-world experience within the larger Fortnite universe.

It is also good to know that it managed to obtain an E10+ classification, aiming for a wider audience compared to Fortnite’s base game, rated T for teens. This shift hints at a potentially immersive gaming experience, with more emphasis on the game’s collaborative survival mode.

Glimpses of the LEGO Fortnite Universe

Beyond today’s 22-second teaser trailer, we can somewhat catch a glimpse of what to expect from the LEGO Fortnite game, including some of its more prominent game features.

Several reports indicate mining mechanics, a versatile building tool with nine schematic slots, alongside health and energy systems. Unique in-game actions, like resting in a bed to rejuvenate health and stamina, and mining ores for materials, are also poised to shape a uniquely different gameplay experience.

Check out this sampling from Fortnite’s official YouTube channel.

A Multifaceted World Beckons in the LEGO Fortnite Game

LEGO’s official press release and captivating promotional artwork also seem to hint at things to come. The LEGO Fortnite game will most likely include three distinct biomes: a rugged desert, lush forests, and snow-capped mountains.

Iconic Fortnite characters—Peely, Cuddle Team Leader, and Brite Bomber—stand out against the backdrop. The Nightmare Shark Ship from the LEGO DREAMZzz set and the Lizard Man also hints at the game’s potential to combine diverse themes into a monumental sandbox adventure.

Here’s LEGO’s full press release.

Build, Play, Survive: The LEGO Group and Epic Games Unveil LEGO® Fortnite

The LEGO Group and Epic Games today announced the LEGO Fortnite game, a new survival crafting game that will go live inside Fortnite starting Dec 7, 2023. LEGO Fortnite will be the first play experience to come from our long-term partnership with Epic Games to develop fun and safe digital spaces for children and families.

Within LEGO Fortnite, players can explore vast, open worlds where the magic of LEGO building and Fortnite collide. Designed for people of all ages to enjoy together, the game will encourage creativity, experimentation, and collaboration through play.

Last year, the LEGO Group and Epic Games announced their partnership to shape the future of the metaverse and make it fun and safe for all. Together the companies will build positive digital play experiences that enable young players to become the creators of tomorrow.

LEGO Fortnite is rated E10+ by the ESRB and will launch inside Fortnite.

The LEGO Fortnite journey is just beginning, follow along at https://linktr.ee/LEGOFortnite

The Awaited Unveiling

As December 7, 2023, approaches, anticipation for the LEGO Fortnite game intensifies, promising an unprecedented amalgamation of creative freedom and survival adventure within the Fortnite universe.

We just have to wait and see if we will be officially treated with a LEGO Fornite set, which will be most likely a promotional or gift-with-purchase set.

So what do you think of this latest LEGO and Epic Games collaboration? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

You May Want to Save Up for the LEGO Ideas 21344 Orient Express Train In Time for Christmas

This year’s LEGO Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals may all be over, but the Toy of the Year Awardee still has plenty of exciting sets to offer this December. And in case you missed the early reveal a couple of months ago, LEGO train fans and collectors will be glad to know that the LEGO Ideas 21344 Orient Express is finally live at LEGO.com.

Exploring the LEGO Ideas 21344 Orient Express

The LEGO Ideas 21344 Orient Express is now available at LEGO’s home shopping portal retailing for $300. And if you’re eyeing this LEGO train set just in time for the holidays, read on to learn more about what to expect from this brick-built masterpiece.

Celebrating 140 Years of Iconic Transportation

In collaboration with The Orient Express, LEGO has embarked on a remarkable endeavor to immortalize this emblematic and lavish mode of travel in LEGO’s signature style. This initiative commemorates the train’s remarkable 140th anniversary, crafting a captivating experience through a timeless LEGO rendition.

Unveiling the Magnificent 2,540-piece LEGO Ideas 21344 Orient Express Train

Boasting a staggering 2,540 pieces, the LEGO Ideas 21344 Orient Express exudes meticulous craftsmanship and intricate details. Though it adheres to conventional track operation, the LEGO Ideas design team clarified that motorization isn’t feasible due to the set’s considerable weight.

The Orient Express follows as a captivating successor to the revered 10194 Emerald Night released back in 2009. The current LEGO rendition serves as a beacon for locomotive and train enthusiasts, ending a period of neglect by delivering this exquisite masterpiece.

However Many fans were left puzzled when the final model turned out to have a predominantly blue color scheme, deviating from the original dark green proposed in the LEGO Ideas submission by fan builder LEt.sGO. Insights from Jordan Scott, the Design Lead for LEGO Ideas, shed light on this alteration during the RLFM Days in Denmark.

Collaborating with the Orient Express, the decision to opt for dark blue was a strategic choice aligning the upcoming Orient Express La Dolce Vita, scheduled to grace tracks in 2024. This decision echoes the elegance and evolution of this iconic train as it is given a more modern twist.

Looking at the Details of the LEGO Ideas 21344 Orient Express

Eight LEGO minifigures, including the conductor, chef, staff, and an eclectic mix of passengers, enrich the set’s narrative. Featuring a film director, writer, scientist, and a regal Duchess, this ensemble adds depth to the journey experience.

While enthusiasts hoped for a motorized version, the design constraints, primarily the train’s weight, preclude this feature. Despite this setback, the allure of the Orient Express remains intact.

Within two exquisitely detailed cars, the opulence and grandeur of the journey come alive. Delicate attention to detail amplifies the authentic Orient Express experience, catering to aficionados’ discerning tastes.

Set to debut exclusively on December 1, 2023, the 21344 Orient Express awaits enthusiasts, available solely through LEGO.com or your local LEGO Store.

Check out the full product details of this set below, and by heading to LEGO.com by clicking the affiliate link below.

LEGO Ideas 21344 Orient Express

2,540 pieces | Includes eight minifigures | $299.99

An ideal gift for lovers of trains, travel and history, it features brick-built versions of the locomotive, tender, dining-car and sleeping-car, plus train tracks.

Exclusive LEGO Marvel Taxi Gift-With-Purchase Set Officially Revealed

After the reveal of the colossal LEGO Marvel Avengers Tower last week, it looks like LEGO is giving us another treat with the official reveal of the exclusive and exciting LEGO Marvel Taxi (5008076) gift-with-purchase set. Scroll down to take a look, and surely you won’t want to miss this limited-edition gem.

What to Expect from the LEGO Marvel Taxi GWP set

From what we can glean from LEGO.com, the LEGO Marvel Taxi freebie comes in a vibrant yellow box that houses not just the GWP set itself, but a piece of the LEGO Marvel universe. The LEGO Marvel Taxi comes snug in its slightly thin yet charming packaging. However, it’s pretty exciting to see that the building instructions booklet is placed at the front.

Printed Out in Details

As confirmed by The Brick Fan, it’s nice to know that LEGO opted to throw in some printed elements together with the LEGO Marvel Taxi. Usually, gift-with-purchase sets come with stickers instead of printed parts.

So it’s great to hear that this freebie will come with 5 printed elements to adorn the brick-built taxi model. Any LEGO fan will surely welcome this kind gesture from LEGO. It’s proof of LEGO’s attention to detail and building quality that elevates this promotional set to a sought-after collectible.

The LEGO Marvel Taxi Further Expands the Number of Your Minifigures

The LEGO Marvel Taxi isn’t just about the vehicle but also underscores a minifigure-studded cast. Included in the set are four minifigure characters that bring the Marvel universe to life. Black Panther takes center stage, flanked by two outriders ready for action. And let’s not forget the unsung hero – the taxi driver, an integral part of this exciting brick-built ensemble.

It’s a LEGO Black Friday Bonanza

Hold on to your bricks because here’s another exciting kicker – the LEGO Marvel Taxi is not just a promotional set you can get from any LEGO purchase; it’s a welcome treat that will launch as part of this year’s LEGO Black Friday deals.

Snag this set for free when you purchase the LEGO Marvel Avengers Tower (76269) during the Black Friday weekend from November 24-27. It’s a limited run, so mark your calendars so you’ll not miss out on this on Black Friday. Additionally, you must be a LEGO Insiders VIP in order to qualify. But joining is relatively easy – just follow the instructions on their mini-site and you’re good to go.

Here’s the rest of the product details for the LEGO Marvel Taxi.
