A huge Fortnite leak has provided new information about the LEGO crossover, including a December 7 release date. Fortnite has a long history of collaborations with famous pop culture IPs and is getting ready to welcome another name to the list.
Fortnite has already received collaborations ranging from Marvel to anime such as Jujutsu Kaisen and Attack on Titan, famous influencers such as Khaby Lame, and sports stars like Neymar Jr and Lewis Hamilton. Showing no sign of stopping, Epic Games has been developing a Fortnite x LEGO crossover for some time, bringing together two names that are a hit with audiences of all ages. While this partnership hasn’t become official, information about it appears from time to time, giving Fortnite players an idea of what to expect. That’s the case of yet another Fortnite leak, which has revealed new information about the long-awaited team-up.
Well-known Fortnite leaker HYPEX has shared information about the collaboration with LEGO, revealing that it will arrive on December 7. Players will transform into LEGO characters and will have access to various items, the ones confirmed at the moment being LEGO Stud Gun, Workbenches, Beds, Fences, Catapults and Prankster Catapults, Map Markers, Ziplines, and trinkets such as Buff Gear and Potions. It will be possible to mine props and ores to build with a nine-slot tool, and there will be a creative mode, although the leak doesn’t reveal if there is a connection with Fortnite‘s creative mode. There will be beds to regenerate energy and HP, and “Sleep Voting” when there is more than one Fortnite player around.

The information provided by HYPEX goes further and reveals that Epic Games is working on a Minifig version of the emotes that exist in Fortnite. Another new feature is the presence of vendors, camps to sleep in, enemies to fight, a crafting system, and inventory. The emotions/reactions discovered by the leak are sad, surprise, worried, excited, disgusted, bored, angry, afraid, laughing (default, subdued and extreme), greeting (default, bored, excited), give item, take item, disagreement, celebrating, and admiring. Epic Games will also add movement mechanics, including sliding, swimming, gliding, flying, running, walking, and falling (with fall damage).
With the Fortnite x LEGO crossover drawing ever closer, Epic Games is hinting at a big end to the year for players. Fortnite is currently in the OG Season, a special season that revisits the days of Chapter 1. And although Chapter 5 doesn’t yet have an official date, speculation points to a kick-off at the beginning of December. If all this information turns out to be true, Fortnite players will have plenty to entertain themselves for possibly months.
