LEGO Fortnite and Two Other New Fortnite Games Announced

Fortnite is expanding in a massive way with three brand new games within the game, including LEGO Fortnite. Fortnite has evolved in such a significant way since its inception. It was initially a tower defense game then a battle royale game... and then something totally unseen before. People have been creating their own experiences using in-game tools and Epic has expanded its own offerings to have all kinds of wild events, crossovers, and more. There are concerts, movies, and much more happening in Fortnite all of the time, but with chapter five, everything will change in a far more radical way.

During The Big Bang event for Fortnite today, it was confirmed that players can jump in on the chapter five action tomorrow. While that will see a bunch of new content such as the arrival of Peter Griffin and Solid Snake, there are some even bigger things happening. Entire new games are coming to Fortnite, including LEGO Fortnite.
