Create your own LEGO® Islands with Fortnite Creative and UEFN
The Fortnite Team
Inspired by the LEGO Group’s new LEGO Islands in Fortnite? Well, now Epic Games and the LEGO Group are bringing LEGO Elements including prefabs, devices, tools, and more to Fortnite creators!
LEGO Elements and other LEGO brand assets are now available in Fortnite Creative and Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) so creators can build their own LEGO Islands.
All creators who are members of the Island Creator Program and sign the additional terms and conditions can build islands using LEGO Templates, props, consumables, items, and more. Additionally, players in your island will be in the LEGO Style of Fortnite Outfits–Minifigures everywhere!
You’ll also need to make sure your island adheres to the Brand and Creator rules for LEGO Islands and that your game meets the LEGO Island maximum age ratings. For example, your island must have an ESRB rating of E10+ or lower to be accessible to players in the United States, and a PEGI rating of 7 or lower to be accessible to players in most of Europe.
Working on a LEGO Island has unique constraints around the LEGO® Minifigures and half-grid size. To learn all about working on LEGO Islands and the templates, check out the Building LEGO Islands Fortnite documentation and tutorials:
