Highlights

  • LEGO Fortnite introduces new themed islands with unique gameplay modes, such as Raft Survival and Obby Fun.
  • Players can now explore the new LEGO Smoothie Odyssey island, collecting special berries to make exotic beverages for aliens.
  • Existing LEGO Islands are updated with space-age elements, like meteor strikes and UFO abductions, adding new challenges for players.

Fortnite recently added a pair of high-flying new LEGO Islands alongside out-of-this-world updates to existing ones. Epic Games expanded on its already successful Fortnite last December, introducing three new modes that each feature different gameplay from the existing Battle Royale. LEGO Fortnite has proven to be especially popular, replacing Fortnite’s usual character models with cute LEGO minifigures and dropping them in a massive sandbox that allows players to build virtually anything they can think of.

Just as real-life LEGO sets have different sub-brands, LEGO Fortnite offers players different themed maps to explore and build upon however they see fit. LEGO Raft Survival and LEGO Obby Fun were added to the game in late February and tasked players with sailing across pirate-infested waters and jumping through platforming obstacle courses respectively. The fun continued about a month later with the introduction of LEGO Battle Arena, where players can sharpen their ninja skills at the LEGO Ninjago Dojo; LEGO Cat Island Adventure, which lets players bond with cute kittens by completing objectives; and LEGO Prop Hunt, a game of hide-and-seek featuring LEGO props.

LEGO Fortnite Makes a Great Case for a LEGO Island Revival

LEGO Fortnite's sandbox gameplay has inadvertently made a strong case for a remaster or remake of the first LEGO game ever made.

Yet another LEGO Fortnite Island was added on May 16 in the form of LEGO Wing Walkers, which consists of an action-packed flying course where players can either fly solo or team up in co-op to steer their plane balanced by running along its wings, dodging obstacles like clouds and flying pigs while collecting coins. This new Island is now being joined by LEGO Smoothie Odyssey, where players are sent to an exotic alien planet to set up the universe’s most refreshing smoothie bar.

New LEGO Fortnite Islands

  • LEGO Wing Walkers: Steer a plane across an obstacle course by running along its wings.
  • LEGO Smoothie Odyssey: Explore seven unique zones in search of special berries and make out-of-these-world beverages for Alien locals.

To do this, players will have to explore LEGO Smoothie Odyssey’s seven new LEGO Fortnite zones in search of special berries, ranging from the ancient Crystal Caves to the bubbling geysers of Hot Springs. After securing tasty flavors like Shock Berries and Butter Berries, players can dive into a collection of fun side activities like gravity-defying parkour in The Void, blistering rail races across Star Peak Mountain, and paddling through the waters of Luna Lagoon - all while impressing the local Aliens.

The new Fortnite update also adds some space-age touches to existing LEGO Islands. LEGO Prop Hunt now features obstacles like meteor strikes, space cats, cute aliens, and UFO abductions, in addition to a new progression system that allows players to unlock Achievements by completing goals or trying out new playstyles while hiding. LEGO Obby Fun is adding a new space-themed course, as well as a hard mode that tests experienced players.
