The partnership between Lego and Fortnite is expanding even more. Epic announced at GDC that players can now create and share games within Fortnite using Lego-themed assets. On March 20, during Epic’s Unreal keynote at GDC 2024, the company behind one of the most popular games in the world—Fortnite—and the engine that powers it—Unreal—talked about the future of both.
Lego mandates that “all published Lego islands” must have an ESRB rating of E10+ or lower to be accessible in the United States. The Lego Group will also be taking a cut of all the money users make through Epic’s engagement-tracking revenue-sharing policy. In exchange for creating LEGO Islands, you agree to share 15% of your total island payout with The LEGO Group.
