Fortnite's Three New Games: Epic Confirms They are Here to Stay
Epic assures Fortnite fans that the exciting additions of Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival are permanent features, promising regular updates to keep players engaged and entertained
Fortnite has recently introduced three new games: Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival. Epic, the developer, has emphasized that these are not limited-time modes but are full games that will remain permanently. Epic assured players that these new games, displayed as tiles on the Fortnite home page, will receive regular updates. This clarification was necessary as some players may have mistaken these games for limited-time modes due to their placement alongside other game modes.
Former Fortnite executive Donald Mustard recently shared an image of Epic's initial concept for the game from six years ago. He revealed that the original goal was to transform Fortnite into a "virtual world" rather than just a game, and now that dream is starting to materialize after years of hard work on multiple fronts.
Mustard mentioned that the plan went through several changes and developments, with the intention for it to span six years - a goal that was ultimately realized. "Today, you are witnessing the TRUE realization of the Fortnite dream," Mustard stated.
Fortnite has truly transformed from its origins as solely a battle royale game. It now offers a variety of non-battle royale modes such as Creative, a user-generated content sandbox. Furthermore, it continues to expand with additions like Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and the Fortnite Festival.
The magnitude of Fortnite's reach is immense. Over the weekend, following the launch of three new games, more than 6.6 million players engaged in Fortnite across all its modes.

As a passionate Fortnite fan, I am thrilled about the introduction of three new permanent games: Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival. These additions demonstrate Epic's commitment to expanding the Fortnite experience beyond the traditional battle royale mode. The fact that these games will receive regular updates ensures that players will have a continuous stream of fresh content to enjoy. I am particularly excited about Lego Fortnite, as it combines the creativity and nostalgia of Lego with the fast-paced action of Fortnite.
The revelation that Fortnite was initially envisioned as a "virtual world" rather than just a game adds a new dimension to the game's development. It is clear that Epic has been working tirelessly to realize this vision, and the introduction of these new games marks a significant milestone in that journey. Fortnite has truly evolved into a multifaceted platform that offers a diverse range of experiences, catering to a wide spectrum of players. The game's immense popularity, with over 6.6 million players engaging across all modes over the weekend, is a testament to its enduring appeal and the success of Epic's vision.
