LEGO Fortnite’s road map may mean the game is ‘never done’

The developers behind LEGO Fortnite have revealed that they hope the game will continue for years to come and ‘never be done.’

Two new modes were recently added to LEGO Fortnite, with LEGO Fortnite Odyssey and LEGO Fortnite Brick Life now live. The inclusion of even more ways to experience the game are just the latest expansions to LEGO Fortnite, with regular content and events continuing to draw in and entertain players worldwide.

That approach certainly seems to be the plan for the future of LEGO Fortnite too, as discussed in a new interview with Remi Marcelli, SVP and head of LEGO gaming.

Taking with Eurogamer, Remi discussed the latest LEGO Fortnite game modes, the time it took to create the content and what the road map for the digital title looks like in 2025 and beyond.

“Finding new brands is always a bit of a challenge for the LEGO Group,” explained Remi. “LEGO Fortnite is those two brands coming together, but it's not specific to a genre. At the time we chose that name, it was an obvious one just because we have two very powerful brands - it would have been a missed opportunity! We didn't know we would have a collection of games, potentially, that would sit under that umbrella."

"So what we really needed to find was one calling out the genre you'd expect to find when launching [the old] LEGO Fortnite," said Remi. "Odyssey came about because that's what players love the most - the adventures. The adventure play is the most loved part of that game and we've dialled that up with the Storm King.”

When it came to LEGO Fortnite Brick Life, the initial idea for the new game mode came from Epic Games themselves, who managed to turn the project around in record time. “Epic came with the proposal of launching another game instead of creating everything that everyone wants in one game,” Remi elaborated. “In order to keep the authenticity of what LEGO Odyssey was at the time. We said, 'let's plan for something in 2027' and they did it in one year.”

As far as the future of LEGO Fortnite is concerned, the game could potentially continue indefinitely. “I hope it's a game that will never be finished. The Fortnite platform allows it and it's becoming a place where any game can be a live-service game pretty easily. And we talk about the limitless possibility of LEGO bricks, so if you combine those things together it is indeed limitless. I hope it will never be done, always kept fresh and updated.”

Recent LEGO Fortnite rumours suggest that at least four new sets may be added to the theme in 2025, but that’s yet to be officially confirmed so far.
