Two action packed LEGO Islands, found within Fortnite, offer new mysterious adventures and challenges for players, just in time for Halloween!

17th October 2024: Expanding on its range of action-packed games, the LEGO Group has launched even more exciting LEGO Islands within Fortnite, where players will have to navigate through various obstacles and challenges to solve one big mystery.

Players are divided into teams in the all-new LEGO Chasers Vs Hunters to take control of the dream world from the LEGO DREAMZzz™ universe.

Teams will be split into Dream Chasers and Nightmare Hunters, with both being given LEGO weapons to shoot their opponents and convert targets to gain dream sand. Each player can use the dream sand to dream craft even bigger and better weapons to help their team take control of the dream world.

Look out for a mysterious flying object from above, as players will have the added challenge of shooting this down from the sky. This dark and creepy creature haunts the LEGO Islands and is curious about LEGO minifigures. Players will be in a race to solve the puzzles in front of them and obtain the codes required to unlock the ultimate secret!

After conquering their opponents and seizing control of the dream world, players will embark on an exciting adventure with LEGO Monster Fishing. However, their peace will be short-lived, as something lurking beneath the surface will drive them back to shore! Players will then have to bravely collect fish, escape, and make it to shore in time to sell their bounty and upgrade the village to protect it from what’s lurking under the ice.

“We’re excited to expand our LEGO Island experiences within Fortnite to give players even more challenging ventures to uncover and explore”, said Kari Vinther Nielsen, Head of Play & Creator Growth at LEGO GAME. “In collaboration with Epic Games, we’ve designed the new Islands to delve into some unexpected horrors and mysteries, just in time for Halloween. We can’t wait to see the creativity and teamwork that players will bring to these thrilling new adventures!”

Players should keep their eyes peeled for clues to find out what else is in store, with more surprises in LEGO Parkour Worlds, where you can climb the world's greatest candy cane and drop off the top, and LEGO Dark Space still to come, inviting gamers to escape by following the light and thinking outside the box.

In addition to this, the LEGO Group and Epic Games have also unveiled the ‘Scary Space’ template and gallery update, allowing creators to publish their own LEGO Islands using LEGO elements, LEGO Styles and other LEGO Brand assets available in Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) and Fortnite Creative. This will bring the iconic LEGO System in Play and its endless creative possibilities to life in a digital setting like never before.

LEGO Template - Scary Space: A template that teaches game creators how to create a jump scare using Verse Code. This new template lets creators make unique, fun and horror-themed LEGO Games, just in time for Halloween. Curious how it works?
