Fortnite has undergone substantial changes since it was first released in 2017, receiving dozens of exciting and game-changing updates over the years. However, Fortnite saw perhaps its biggest update at the tail end of 2023, with Epic Games announcing Fortnite would receive several new ways of play. This update included the addition of multiple new game modes like Rocket Racing and Fortnite Festival, with Epic Games making it clear it sees Fortnite as more of a platform than an individual game. Fortnite‘s LEGO-inspired survival mode was also packaged in this update, completely redefining what Fortnite could look like. Months later, LEGO Fortnite continues to be popular, with Epic Games finally confirming it will add one of the most highly-requested items to the game mode.
Announced by the official LEGO Fortnite Twitter account, players can look forward to the first official flying vehicle with the Air Ship, which is coming in the game’s upcoming Lost Isles update. Releasing on September 17, Fortnite‘s Lost Isles update also brings several changes and new features players won’t want to miss, such as new fish types and recipes. Fortnite‘s Lost Isles update will also reportedly include the return of fan-favorite Fortnite character Klombo.
LEGO Fortnite Adding First Flying Vehicle
Players have already figured out creative ways to take to the skies in LEGO Fortnite, but the game has yet to feature an official, fool-proof way to fly. The addition of the Air Ship solves this longstanding issue, with transportation being an area LEGO Fortnite fans have wanted to see receive a major boost. The Air Ship is a simple design but will likely have major implications for LEGO Fortnite as a whole.
Alongside new goodies in LEGO Fortnite, the main game’s Chapter 5 Season 4 update, titled Absolute Doom, is currently in full swing, with several Marvel weapons and tools being thrown into the game’s ever-expanding loot pool. Players can power up with several new Fortnite items like War Machine’s Arsenal, Captain America’s Shield, and Doctor Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets. The Marvel-themed season launched in August and lasts through November 2, giving Fortnite players plenty of time to progress through the battle pass and the rest of the bonus rewards for this season.
