In a thrilling announcement, Epic Games has revealed an enticing sneak peek at the upcoming features for LEGO Fortnite, which include the ability to domesticate animals and enhance the farming experience. This new update promises to add depth to the already immersive free-to-play survival experience, offering players the chance to form relationships with the diverse animal population or cultivate productive farms for their LEGO villages.
Since its debut in December, LEGO Fortnite has captivated gamers with its unique blend of creative freedom and Minecraft-style exploration, providing a refreshing alternative to the intense battle royale mode found in the original Fortnite. With the addition of new modes and scenarios, LEGO Fortnite continues to expand, utilizing the Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create a variety of new LEGO Fortnite Islands.
The new animal and farming update is expected to make farming a more viable and rewarding option for players, allowing them to gather essential food and resources more effectively. Currently, LEGO Fortnite players can pet and feed wild animals, such as chickens, sheep, and cows, in exchange for resources like eggs, wool, and milk. Players can also use food trails to lure and trap animals into makeshift pens.
However, this method has proven less than ideal, as some animals have a tendency to escape.The teaser video suggests the introduction of new farm structures, such as barns and silos, which, when combined with the ability to properly direct animals, will enable players to construct thriving farms and further personalize their LEGO Fortnite villages.
This update is just one of the many exciting new features set to grace LEGO Fortnite, with the Fortnite x Avatar: The Last Airbender Elements event currently underway, granting players the opportunity to purchase exclusive Team Avatar cosmetics for their characters.
In addition to the farming update, reliable leaker iFireMonkey has revealed that pigs are coming to LEGO Fortnite in the next update, which looks to have a particular focus on farmyard animals. This suggests that players will be able to raise and care for a variety of animals, further enriching the gameplay experience.
The LEGO Fortnite community is eagerly awaiting these new updates, which promise to bring even more depth and enjoyment to this innovative title. With its unique blend of creativity, exploration, and survival, LEGO Fortnite continues to captivate players and offer a fresh take on the Fortnite universe.
