LEGO Fortnite Set to Introduce New Vehicle in Upcoming Update

After a lengthy wait, LEGO Fortnite fans have something to celebrate: the addition of the game mode's very first flying vehicle. Developer Epic Games has announced that the Air Ship will debut in LEGO Fortnite's upcoming Lost Isles update. This highly anticipated update, set to release on September 17, 2024, promises to bring more than just a new vehicle. It will also include various new features and enhancements that players won't want to miss. The update arrives amidst Fortnite's Chapter 5 Season 4, which has recently introduced players to a new realm under the control of Marvel villain Doctor Doom.

Since its debut in 2017, Fortnite has seen numerous transformative updates. Among the most significant was the overhaul at the end of 2023, which brought several new game modes, including Rocket Racing and Fortnite Festival. Epic Games has clearly positioned Fortnite as a dynamic platform rather than a static game. This evolution includes the introduction of LEGO-inspired survival modes, which have redefined the Fortnite experience. Now, LEGO Fortnite fans are eagerly awaiting one of their most requested additions: an official flying vehicle.

The announcement, made via the official LEGO Fortnite Twitter account, reveals that the Air Ship will be the first official flying vehicle in LEGO Fortnite. This addition addresses a long-standing request from players, offering a new and definitive way to soar through the game. The Air Ship's design is straightforward, yet it's expected to have a significant impact on the gameplay experience.

In addition to the Air Ship, the Lost Isles update will bring other exciting features, including new fish types and recipes. Fans can also look forward to the return of the beloved Fortnite character Klombo.

Meanwhile, Fortnite’s main game continues to evolve with Chapter 5 Season 4, titled Absolute Doom. This Marvel-themed season, which launched in August and runs through November 2, 2024, has introduced a host of new Marvel-themed weapons and items into the game. Players can now wield items such as War Machine's Arsenal, Captain America's Shield, and Doctor Doom's Arcane Gauntlets. With plenty of time left in the season, players have ample opportunity to explore these new additions and make the most of the battle pass rewards.
