Epic Games is gearing up for an exciting new chapter of LEGO Fortnite with the highly anticipated Ninjago: Rise of the Ninja update arriving later this week. This update marks LEGO’s second anniversary in Fortnite, coinciding with Ninjago’s upcoming 15th anniversary next year. Players can look forward to an expansive new world, a collection of Ninjago weapons, and the addition of some fan-favorite characters.
Ninjago Heroes Enter Fortnite
The update will introduce Zane, Jay, Cole, and Kai to Fortnite, with Kai featured in the Ninjago LEGO Pass. For the first time, these characters will be available in human-like forms, allowing their use in Fortnite’s non-LEGO modes. Players can expect a fresh and exciting experience as they explore these new avatars within the game.
Master the Elements
Players can enhance their gameplay by mastering elemental abilities as they traverse the newly introduced Ninjago island. By visiting Sanctums, gamers will earn powers such as ice, lightning, and earth, continuing the trend of moving beyond traditional weaponry that began with the introduction of class-based hero powers.
Ninja weapons make a comeback with the addition of nunchucks and shurikens, just in time to face off against a formidable fire-breathing dragon boss, as showcased in the latest trailer.
Future Updates and Expansions
Epic Games has ambitious plans for Ninjago within Fortnite, with a significant update scheduled for 2026. This future update will introduce new characters like Nya, Master Wu, and Lloyd. The first wave of this exciting Ninjago content is set to launch in just a few days, on December 11.
