Queues to enter are already hours long, but there’s a lot to do once you get in.

Here are all the biggest features coming to Lego Fortnite.

Lego Fortnite: What is the new Fortnite mode?

Lego Fortnite is a collaboration between Fortnite and Lego that plays a little bit like another popular children’s game, Minecraft.

You will search for Lego-based food and resources and then craft them together to build whatever you like.

Players can recruit other characters to help defend their base, and then protect them from any enemies.

There are also caves with rare resources that you can enter at your own risk either alone or with friends.

Lego Fortnite: What makes Lego Fortnite unique compared to Minecraft?

The main hook is the Lego, as everything you gather and build is in the classic Lego style.

This includes the characters, as there are several Lego skins based on popular Fortnite outfits.

The map is also gigantic, with the Lego Fortnite map being more than 19 times bigger than the regular Fortnite map.

As Lego Fortnite is part of Fortnite, this also means that it is free to play.

While Minecraft isn’t expensive, the free-to-play nature of Fortnite might make it more appealing to players.
