Share
Celebrating One Year of LEGO® Fortnite
LEGO Fortnite marks its first anniversary with a massive transformation, officially becoming LEGO Fortnite Odyssey. Alongside this rebranding, the Fortnite Team has unveiled two exciting additions: the Storm Chasers Update for Odyssey's survival mode and the launch of LEGO Fortnite Brick Life, a social roleplay experience. Here’s everything you need to know about this monumental update.
Storm Chasers Update: A Thunderous Adventure
In LEGO Fortnite Odyssey, the Storm King has arrived, wreaking havoc across the map with his storm-wild minions. Your mission: rally with the Storm Chasers and defeat this electrifying foe.
Explore the Storm Chaser Village
The adventure begins at the Storm Chaser Village, home to heroes like Carl Ruckus and Dr. Borrasca. This hub provides quests, crafting opportunities, and the tools needed to confront the Storm King. The new Journal feature helps players track goals and pin them to the HUD for seamless navigation.
Storm Biomes and Dungeons
Storms appear randomly, warping the map with dangerous lightning strikes and new enemies. Each storm centers around a Storm Dungeon, featuring evolving pathways, puzzles, and escalating dangers. Conquer these dungeons to disrupt the Storm King’s influence, but beware—they regenerate after 24 hours with fresh challenges.
Formidable Foes: The Storm King’s Minions

- Storm Crawlers: Electrified adversaries with shocking attacks.

The Final Battle: The Storm King
Face the Storm King in a multi-stage boss fight. Bring friends, as this encounter tests your strategy, combat skills, and survival instincts. Victorious players earn powerful loot, including:
- Thunderclap Blade
- Cyclone Pickaxe
- Shatterhorn Fragments for crafting superior gear.
New Gameplay Features
