1. LEGO Fortnite Expeditions Gets a New Battle Arena
There’s a brand new map in LEGO Fortnite Expeditions called Supernova Academy. It’s where the strongest heroes first got their superpowers. Now you need to defend it from the bad guy Mask Maker Daigo.
Fighting at the academy feels totally different from other maps. You’ll battle through classrooms and training areas where legendary heroes used to train. The map has lots of good hiding spots and places to surprise-attack enemies, so spend some time learning it before you jump into tough fights.
2. Hero Classes Still Coming to Odyssey
Still waiting for those three Hero Classes in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey? You’ll have to wait a bit more. The developers want to make them perfect before releasing them, which is probably smart. Keep checking the official Fortnite news for updates on when they’ll be ready.
3. Bestie Fest Brings Community Fun to LEGO Fortnite Brick Life
Leelah and Halley are throwing a huge party called Bestie Fest right in front of Harmonious Hall. The festival runs from July 29th until August 26th, 2025. First thing you need to do is pick a side: Hoppabuns vs Winkycats. You’ll use Creds to vote for your favorite. Whichever side gets the most Creds from everyone playing wins and decides what prizes the whole community gets.
Festival activities that build friendships will also be available here. You will help make Brick Bay more fun by doing these activities:
- Light fireworks to make the celebration brighter.
- Play harmless pranks on other players for laughs.
- Do boxing matches where you fight for the power of friendship.
- Wrap presents at the Gift Wrap Station.
Every activity you do makes Leelah and Halley like you more. The more they like you, the better rewards you get. You can earn home decorations like the Hoppabuns Portrait, Winkycats Trophy, and your own Gift Wrap Station.
