Summary
There’s one major opportunity thatLEGO Fortnitemissed on launch, but the developers still have a chance to go back and fix it.LEGO Fortnitelanded with a splash as Epic rolled out a major expansion toFortniteat the tail end of 2023. As the most prominent of the new games,LEGO Fortnitewas in the position to make the most impact. However, it was lacking one thing that could have given it even more clout overall. Even though several months have passed since the reveal, it’s not too late for the developers to reconsider.
When the game initially launched,LEGO Fortnite’s incredible player countwas impressive, and while those numbers have since cooled, it’s still a valuable part of the overallFortniteexperience. Rather than the intense competitve combat of the Battle Royale,LEGO Fortniteis a survival-based game with a heavy emphasis on building thanks to theLEGOaesthetic. It even featuresLEGOversions of most ofFortnite’s skins for characters to play as. It acts as a good change of pace for players who want something other than Battle Royale for a change, and later updates have the potential to add even more to the game.
A Battle Pass Could Elevate LEGO Fortnite to New Heights
LEGO Fortnite Does Not Have a Battle Pass
One unusual detail aboutLEGO Fortniteis that it lacksFortnite’s traditional Battle Pass. While it did have a short series of missions to unlock a new skin when it launched, it has nothing close to the overarching Battle Pass and huge list of rewards thatFortniteusually offers. Players can still earn EXP for the main battle pass while playingLEGO Fortniteand earn points towards its rewards. However, aside from new skins also unlocking theirLEGO Fortniteequivalents, there are no realLEGO-specific perks to be had, which can be disappointing for fans who are particularly interested inLEGO Fortnite.
A LEGO Fortnite Battle Pass Could Offer Unique Rewards
LEGO Fortniteis far from done with adding new features if arecent Epic Games surveyis any indication. ALEGO FortniteBattle Pass, or some similar reward-based system, would be a good choice. Just like the regular Battle Pass, it could offer players some cosmetic bonuses for completing tasks and earning EXP inLEGO Fortnite. Some possible rewards could be unique weapon skins, unique constructions, and other such details. It could even potentially unlock a human-sizedLEGOminifigure to use in otherFortnitemodes. There are a lot ofLEGO-related rewards that could come from aLEGO FortniteBattle Pass if Epic creates one.
Other Fortnite Modes Already Have Season-Based Reward Systems
Providing a Battle Pass forLEGO Fortniteisn’t out of the realm of possibility consideringFortnite Festival’s own seasons. In Fortnite Festival, players could earn new instruments and songs by playing the game. In addition, Rocket Racing let players unlock new decals and wheel designs by racing and climbing the ranks. At the moment,LEGO Fortniteseems to be the onlyFortnitespin-off that doesn’t have any sort of season-related gimmick or rewards. That provides a major argument for implementing one in the future. After all, without it,LEGO Fortnitecould end up seeming like the lesser of the games on offer.

GivingLEGO Fortniteits own Battle Pass could be a big help for the game. In addition to providing more reason for players toearn EXP inLEGO Fortnite, it could provide a whole new category of unlockables for players to earn.LEGO Fortnitewouldn’t even need as big of a Battle Pass as Battle Royale typically has. A smaller one in the vein of Fortnite Festival or the occasional event passes would do well enough. A Battle Pass could be whatLEGO Fortniteneeds to become a bigger part of the game.
