However, it is still unclear how this collaboration will take shape. Some leaks have suggested that they could introduce in-game skins or pieces of equipment. This could be a little challenging because of the physical restrictions of the LEGO characters. Another speculation is that LEGO may introduce brand-new products inspired by Fortnite.
The leak also confirmed that the staff move doesn’t mean that Epic is planning a big in-game change. According to the sources, this step will increase the priority on projects that were already in “focus”. Reportedly, other than the LEGO collaboration, Epic is also working on “Fortnite Chapter 5, UEFN & a Harmonix Festival” and “Rocket League Racing”.
