Summary
Epic Games is reportedly working on a massive update that is going to redefine the gameplay experience ofFortnite’s popularLEGOmode. While a pretty barebones way of creating worlds does exist inLEGO Fortnite, that portion of the mode seems to be getting an overhaul.
Fortnite’sLEGOmode has quickly become one of the most popular aspects of the game. In fact, at one point there were more players playing theLEGOthan the original battle royale, which is impressive even though it did not last long. Epic Games has been actively releasing updates for the mode, with the most recent one adding an all-newfishing mechanic toLEGO Fortnite. While that added a completely new dynamic to the game, it seems like Epic Games has some more exciting stuff in store for fans.
As per a new report by popularFortniteleaker HYPEX, Epic Games is apparently gearing up to release a hugeLEGOxUEFN(Unreal Editor for Fortnite) update. Named Atom, this update will be bringing newLEGOsets including but not limited to Action Figures, Duplo, and Technic. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the leak is that players may soon be allowed to buildcustomLEGOworlds inFortniteusing existing pieces and imported custom ones.

The leaker also suggests that the player will initially start with different variants of knobs, pins, and tubes, and they will be able to use theirfavoriteLEGOFortniteskinsin this mode. Last but not least, fans who are looking to build worlds for the community can also expect to get something out of it, as these maps can monetized as well. However, it has been noted that there will be certain terms and conditions associated with publishing these maps, although the specifics haven’t been revealed yet.
Fans are eagerly looking forward to the release of this rumored update, as it would allow them to take part in some more exciting maps. While theLEGOmode does offer procedurally generated maps, meaning each player will witness a different world altogether, custom experiences have always been quite popular in the game. Many are already speculating what maps the community will create, with a map based on Marvel superheroes being one of the most requested ones. That being said, Epic Games has had a history of being quite stringent with itscopyright policies inFortnite, so it will be interesting to see how creators navigate those challenges to build some memorableLEGOexperiences.
