Here’s everything you need to know about this exciting update hitting LEGO Fortnite this December.
LEGO Fortnite Odyssey & The Storm King
The new LEGO Fortnite Odyssey is set to shake up the experience with a thrilling new challenge. Players will encounter a brand-new villain: the Storm King, an electrifying adversary wielding immense power. The Storm King and its allies, Storm Crawlers and Storm King’s Acolytes, will offer intense challenges in newly designed dungeons.
What You’ll Explore:
- Storm Dungeons: Explore these action-packed areas, which reset every 24 hours, offering an ongoing challenge for players.
- Epic Boss Fight: Face off against the Storm King for a chance to earn powerful rewards like the Cyclone Pickaxe or the Thunderclap Blade.
- Co-op Play: Thanks to the addition of local co-op in LEGO Fortnite, players can now team up with family or friends to tackle this formidable new foe together.
The Storm King adds a fresh, strategic experience with daily challenges and legendary loot, ensuring that LEGO Fortnite Odyssey will keep players engaged.
Chill & Thrill LEGO Pass
Epic Games is also introducing the Chill & Thrill LEGO Pass, a new reward system launching alongside LEGO Fortnite Odyssey. This pass will feature numerous cosmetics and themed rewards, including five free decor bundles for a personalized gameplay experience.
Pricing & Benefits:
- Cost: 1,400 V-Bucks
- Immediate Access: Available for all Fortnite Crew members instantly.
- Rewards: Includes the Raven Team Syd outfit and LEGO-themed styles—perfect for players who enjoy Battle Royale too.
The Chill & Thrill LEGO Pass allows progression across any game mode, offering flexibility to players. While future rewards might make their way into the Item Shop, this pass ensures a more cost-effective way to earn exclusive items.
Introducing Brick Life: A New Role-Playing Experience
One of the most groundbreaking features coming to LEGO Fortnite is Brick Life. Launching on December 12, this new life simulation mode allows players to build their own path in a sprawling LEGO-inspired open-world city.
What is Brick Life?
In Brick Life, you can immerse yourself in a dynamic, living city environment. Much like games like Grand Theft Auto (though LEGO-style), players can pick a career path, explore the city, and live out their life as they see fit.
Features Include:
- Career Paths: Choose occupations like courier, security officer, or even sushi chef.
- Housing: Build and customize your dream house with furniture obtained from a continually updated store.
- School System: Learn magical classes and interact with new mechanics introduced into this unique role-playing experience.
While Brick Life offers a significant departure from traditional combat modes, its customization options, activities, and creative freedom make it an exciting addition for fans of both life sims and LEGO games.
Platform Availability:
All platforms will support Brick Life at launch, except for South Korea, where restrictions will delay its debut.
Free Skins & Exclusive Rewards
Fortnite players can enjoy additional goodies as free rewards are coming with this new update. Players can look forward to free LEGO-themed skins just in time for the festive holiday season.
Free Skins Available:
- Mr. Dappermint
- Explorer Emilie
- Chord Kahele Skin (Earnable through the upcoming event)
These free rewards can be claimed on December 10, coinciding with other aspects of the new LEGO Fortnite experience. The rewards showcase festive charm and new customization options for players exploring both LEGO Fortnite Odyssey and Brick Life.
The Influence of Grand Theft Auto in Brick Life
The new Brick Life feature has already drawn comparisons to iconic games like Grand Theft Auto thanks to its open-world freedom and role-playing mechanics. Players are finding similar vibes from the free exploration, custom role-playing opportunities, and immersive city mechanics—similar to what GTA fans expect.
Social media responses like those from X user GoGoated have humorously pointed out that it’s amusing how GTA-style freedom is being introduced in Fortnite before Grand Theft Auto 6 even hits. While not exactly the same as GTA, Brick Life offers players an exciting glimpse into a versatile and expansive sandbox experience.
A Major December for LEGO Fortnite Fans
Epic Games’ latest LEGO Fortnite update promises tons of content for new and old players alike. With LEGO Fortnite Odyssey, the Storm King threat, Chill & Thrill LEGO Pass, and Brick Life role-playing mechanics, there’s never been a better time to explore this innovative and expansive LEGO-themed game mode.
From dungeons and boss battles to life sim adventures in a sprawling LEGO city, Epic Games has set a strong foundation for December 2024 being one of the most exciting months for LEGO Fortnite fans. Whether you’re battling the Storm King or living out your dream job in Brick Life, there’s something exciting on the horizon for every player.
Stay tuned for updates, challenges, and rewards as LEGO Fortnite evolves this holiday season.
