Now that vehicles have been properly added to Lego Fortnite, players have been busy building everything from huge cargo trucks to lightning-fast racers. Looking ahead, Epic Games has detailed the Farm Friends update. More on that below.

Lego Fortnite launched late last year, and ever since, the survival/building game has been regularly updated with new content. We've seen vehicles added, as well as a steady stream of new Outfits and items to keep players ticking over.

In many ways, Lego Fortnite is considered a separate game from the base Fortnite battle royale experience. While it may live inside Fortnite's launcher, it offers a very different experience that's more akin to a survival-crafting game like Minecraft.

Players start out with nothing and must farm resources to gradually build up their Camp, unlocking new items and technology in the process. In our initial Lego Fortnite review, we praised the game's devilishly more-ish progression loop, as well as its gorgeous open-world design.

Here's when to expect the next Lego Fortnite update, as well as some info on what was added in the most recent patch. Expect this page to be updated regularly, given how often Epic Games continues to tweak the brick-based survival game.

New villagers, dangerous creatures, and animal variants will be added alongside the update as well. You can read more at the Fortnite blog.

In addition, a Star Wars collaboration will launch on May 3, 2024. Lego skins continue to arrive in-game regularly as well, with the most recent being the Avatar: The Last Airbender characters Toph, Zuko and Katara.
