Summary
Unreal Editor forFortnitehas received new assets that allow enthusiasts to make their own LEGO Creative Islands. Their arrival has been accompanied by the release of three additional LEGO Islands inFortnite.
This development marks another milestone in Epic Games and LEGO Group’s ongoing partnership, which was envisioned as a long-term project meant to usher in a comprehensive digital “metaverse” geared toward child-friendly entertainment. While the collaboration was originally announced in April 2022, it is still in its infancy; its first result only arrived in December 2023 in the form of aLEGO-themed survival craftingFortnitemode, aptly calledLEGO Fortnite.
Fortnite Players Can Now Make Their Own LEGO Creative Islands
That experience was later expanded with the addition oftwo newLEGOislands withinFortnite, Raft Survival and Obby Fun, which debuted in late February. Epic and LEGO are now following up on that move with the release of Unreal Editor assets that let anyone create their own LEGO-themed Creative Islands. The pack was announced during the third day of this year’s Game Developers' Conference (GDC) in San Francisco.
Accompanying this developer-facing release are three additionalLEGO FortniteIslands that players can access as of today. Fans interested in a combat-focused experience can hop into LEGO Battle Arena, which will allow them to learn the ways of Spinjitzu and test their martial arts prowess against other players, all the while marveling at a digital take on a dojo inspired by the LEGO Ninjago line. Those looking for something a bit less fighting-oriented can instead turn to the newFortniteprop hunt maparriving in the form of a picturesque LEGO Island.

Following these additions,LEGO Fortnitenow comprises five official Creative Islands that extend its base survival crafting experience. While it’s unclear whether more will follow in the near future, the arrival of Unreal Editor assets allowing anyone to make their own levels suggests there should soon be no shortage of suchLEGOFortnitemaps to choose from.
