Fortnite has announced that it will be adding a LEGO kit purchasable bundle to the Item Shop. At the start of Chapter 5 Season 1, Epic Games added three game modes to Fortnite: Rocket Racing, Fortnite Festival, and LEGO Fortnite. Fortnite has become a sort of game hub with such a wide variety of content that nearly anyone can find something that will appeal to them while exploring the Discovery tab.
Whether they prefer Build or Zero Build mode, gamers can still enjoy the classic Battle Royale. Racing game fans will find themselves right at home with Rocket Racing. Fortnite Festival will grab the attention of Guitar Hero and rhythm game fans. And LEGO Fortnite will find its way into the hearts of LEGO lovers as well as those who prefer survival or cozy games. It appealed to such a large audience that LEGO Fortnite was able to surpass Battle Royale’s player count in its first week.
LEGO Fortnite Missed One Huge Mark, But There’s Time to Fix It
When LEGO Fortnite was rolled out, it was missing one notable feature, but it’s one that can possibly be added in at a later date.
Epic Games brought Jam Tracks and musical instruments to the Item Shop for Fortnite Festival fans, and it added car parts and customizations for Rocket Racing fans, but LEGO Fortnite players didn’t get anything else other than additional LEGO styles for Fortnite skins. Thankfully, the Fortnite Item Shop will now have its own section for LEGO-exclusive items: LEGO Kits. These kits will include themed item bundles with tons of blueprints for players to make a wider variety of buildings in their LEGO Fortnite worlds.
When Will LEGO Fortnite Kits Become Available?
LEGO Fortnite Kits will hit the Item Shop once it refreshes on March 9, 2024. Kits will only be added with the v29.00 update, the patch that will bring fans a whole new season full of ancient Greek mythology characters. According to the official blog post, the first two kits, the Beachside Boulevard Bundle and the Durrr Burger Bundle, will be available on March 9, but the third kit, the Lion Knights’ Castle Bundle, will only be made available on March 16, a week later.
These bundles are priced between 1,900 V-Bucks and 2,500 V-Bucks, which means they cost approximately between $15 and $20. While some players immediately pointed out how pricey they were, others were surprised since Battle Royale cosmetic bundles can be even more expensive. Unfortunately, V-Bucks went up in price last October, so getting the Fortnite Crew Pack or a Quest Pack might be worth it rather than acquiring a standard V-Bucks pack.
