Introducing: LEGO Islands – New Experiences in ‘Fortnite’

The LEGO Group has announced the launch of two new play experiences within “Fortnite.” 

“LEGO Raft Survival” and “LEGO Obby Fun” are the first in a new series of play experiences within “Fortnite,” dubbed LEGO Islands, a series of kid- and family-friendly LEGO-themed experiences that have been created using Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN).  

“LEGO Raft Survival” combines frenetic multiplayer problem-solving with the classic LEGO Pirates theme, as the infamous Blackbeard challenges players and their friends to stay afloat on a raft in unfriendly waters. 

“LEGO Obby Fun” is the first official LEGO-themed obstacle course on “Fortnite,” that offers a LEGO-inspired take on climbing and problem-solving through brick-built platforms designed by LEGO designers and packed with hot dogs, pizzas, unicorns and more. 

The LEGO Group will unveil several more LEGO-themed experiences inside “Fortnite” throughout this year and beyond. 

“We’re thrilled to introduce players to the first of our creative and fun LEGO Islands series of play experiences within ‘Fortnite,’” says Kari Vinther Nielsen, head, play and creator growth, LEGO GAME. “The power of UEFN, in the hands of our creative teams, is what makes these experiences possible and allows us to expand new genres across Fortnite, infused with LEGO play. We can’t wait to introduce even more as the year goes on – this is only the beginning.”
