An unexpected Fortnite crossover was announced by Epic Games' Adam Sussman at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity last week.
The two most crossover-happy companies in the world are getting together, as Epic Games and Lego are set to team up on a new project which is set to bring real-life Lego creations to Fortnite via the power of Unreal Engine. At the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity (via HYPEX) Epic Games President Adam Sussman and Lego Marketing Officer Julia Goldin showed off a selection of Lego props created with Unreal.
According to Twitter user @iannzits (via @iFireMonkey) there was also word that the crossover will extend past Lego models being recreated in-game. Allegedly there were comments made that would suggest that Lego characters and minifigs could show up in the game as NPC's. Although it has also been floated that a Lego-themed LTM or creative map could be in the game instead, regardless some Lego characters could be in Fortnite down the line.
