Lego Fortnite (stylised all caps) is an upcoming 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 will be released on October 1, 2024, while promotional sets were released to tie-in with the game mode the year prior.
Background
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]
