Hot on the heels of the Big Bang Event, Epic Games is this week releasing three brand new modes in Fortnite. Alongside the upcoming launch of Chapter 5 Season 1, Fortnite is also getting a Rocket League-style racing mode, a rhythm action mode inspired by Rock Band, and a free LEGO Fortnite mode.

The new survival mode inspired by the iconic line of toys will transform any Fortnite skin you already own into a LEGO version of it. At launch, over 1,200 skins will have a LEGO Style in addition to its regular Fortnite look.

If you want to get ready for the LEGO Fortnite release date on Thursday 7 December 2023, you can also claim a free LEGO Explorer Emilie skin by signing up to the LEGO Insiders program. Here's how you can claim the free cosmetic.

How to get the free LEGO Fortnite Explorer Skin

To get the LEGO Explorer Emilie skin in Fortnite, you need to sign-up to LEGO Insiders and link your account to your Epic Games login. The LEGO loyalty scheme is free to join, and you can link these accounts before the LEGO Fortnite mode launches. The skin will be available in your locker once the LEGO Fortnite experience is live.
