Fortnite is slowly turning its once classic Battle Royale game into an all-out ecosystem with multiple game modes that cater to a wider audience. With the release of Rocket Racing, LEGO Fortnite, and Festival modes, Epic has planned to launch new game modes in the latest Chapter 6 with OG mode, Ballistic 5v5 FPS mode, a new LEGO Fortnite Odyssey season, and an open-world roleplaying game like GTA Online and Sims.

The game mode is called Brick Life and it will be a part of LEGO Fortnite, offering a unique roleplaying experience in an open-world setting. If you’d like to know more about the upcoming game mode, check out the full patch notes right here.

LEGO Fortnite Brick Life open world mode full patch notes

Make new friends, explore the sights, move into your dream home, and start building your lifestyle in LEGO® Fortnite Brick Life! It’s an all-new social roleplay experience in the LEGO Fortnite world, launching on December 12!

At launch, LEGO Fortnite Brick Life will be available on all platforms and regions where Fortnite is supported, with the exception of South Korea.

An Introduction to Brick Life

Pack up your bricks and pieces and step into an ever-evolving city, where you can build your own stories by interacting with both the environment and your fellow residents.

Gather your friends (and make new ones!) as you explore vibrant locales, like sunset-drenched beaches and the mysterious Mourndale Academy, alongside 31 other players. Become the ultimate socialite and hang out in restaurants, house parties, and rooftop clubs. Activities in LEGO® Fortnite Brick Life are better together too; host a band practice down the beach, grab a bite to eat with friends, or race through the streets on hoverboards.

You’ll also decorate your own home with a wide range of LEGO furniture, afforded by taking on an assortment of jobs — from a mystical Fortune Teller to a hard-working Sushi Chef.

Start your dream job

First things first, you’re going to need to make a living — which means you’ll need to get a job! Whatever you fancy, there’s a profession for everyone in Brick Bay. Here are just a few of the different roles you can take:

• Courier – Deliver parcels to other Brick Bay residents!
• Academy Professor  – Share your knowledge with the class at Moundale Academy.
• Security Officer – Make sure crime doesn’t pay.
• Scoundrel – Prank fellow city-goers.
• Sushi Chef – Serve up the tastiest fish in Brick Bay!
• Bobom Milk Tea Bobarista – Serve Brick Bay’s most refreshing beverage.
• Fortune Teller – What does your future hold? New furniture!

Fancy a career change? Go right ahead! In Brick Bay, you can take up a new job whenever you feel like it — no interview required! Try out all the different professions until you find your favorites. Keep an eye on your in-game Phone too, as businesses will occasionally send out calls for help.

Own your dream home

Where will you go to relax after a hard day’s work? There are several empty lots found throughout the city where you can place a home — ranging from cozy suburban houses to sleek apartments and luxurious penthouses. Pick and purchase your very own home, then customize it to your heart’s content!

But before you get to that, you’ll need some stuff to decorate it with. Open up your Phone to access the Furniture Catalogue, where you’ll find a huge assortment of items you can use to personalize your new place! If you’re looking for something more unique, stop by the Furniture Shop right down the block, which regularly has brand-new items.

Already got some Decor Bundles and Builds boxed up and ready to go? Then you can use these in LEGO Fortnite Brick Life too — just look for the cross-compatible icon in your Locker.

Please note: While most Decor Bundles and Builds from LEGO Fortnite Odyssey are cross-compatible with LEGO Fortnite Brick Life, a small selection of especially large Builds will not be available for use at launch. However, these will be supported in the near future, so stay tuned for updates!

Explore and meet new residents

After a hard day’s work, unwind with your friends! There’s absolutely tons to see and do across Brick Bay, so grab your best pals and see what’s out there. As you get to know the city, you’ll meet new LEGO faces as well as other players. Say hello to those you meet who are out and about using text chat. You can choose who you chat with in Fortnite’s Settings. 

You can also interact using any Emotes or Jam Tracks (including the use of Jam Loops — a first for LEGO Fortnite!) in your Locker, providing they are compatible with the LEGO Fortnite universe. Don’t forget to show off your style using your existing Outfits, too.
