This collaboration showcases the creative potential of Fortnite's community and the addition of Unreal Engine support. Players can find guides on LEGO Fortnite seeds and how to obtain the free Explorer Emilie skin.

The game is currently available at a 70% discount on Steam.
Fortnite has collaborated with Nike's .Swoosh Web3 platform, which offers digital apparel and accessories sold as NFTs, but the alliance does not integrate NFTs into Fortnite.

The experience can earn players a free in-game "back bling" or avatar accessory styled like a classic pair of Nike Air Max sneakers, but it is not tokenized as an NFT. However, .Swoosh users can earn a special achievement on their NFT-based ID for connecting their account to an Epic Games account via this promotion.

The season also brings a new "digital" theme, a new obstacle, and changes to the overall delivery format. Mediatonic is also ditching Fall Guys' existing Season Pass model in favour of shorter, more frequent Fame Passes.
