Another week, another major crossover for Fortnite. The battle royale bonanza has continued to add figures from the world of pop culture, with the latest rumours suggesting a LEGO collaboration is next in the works.

Already, suggestions of crafting, LEGO weapons, LEGO abilities and more have been doing the rounds, with some even suggesting it could be the equivalent of a «whole new game».

Most notably, LEGO invested $1 billion into the game's developer. With this, fans have been expecting the two companies to crossover in some way.

Following this, game files for LEGO were leaked (via Hypex), with several further leakers then collaborating that the plastic bricks were on their way to Fortnite.
