Lego Fortnite (stylised all caps) is a Lego theme based on the online video game of the same name. It is licensed from Epic Games, which The Lego Group's parent company itself, Kirkbi A/S, currently holds a 3% ownership stake in. The theme was released on October 1, 2024, while promotional sets were released to tie-in with the game mode the year prior.

Background

[edit]

On April 7, 2022, Epic Games announced that they had entered a partnership with The Lego Group, and while details were scarce, the two companies were working on creating a "metaverse" designed for younger audiences.[1] As a result, Lego's parent company, Kirkbi A/S, invested US$1 billion into Epic Games.[2]

A year later on November 21, 2023, Lego uploaded a teaser to Twitter unveiling the Supply Llama from the game made out of Lego bricks, thus confirming that the collaboration was underway.[3]
