{{AFC comment|1=No overarching notability for the topic is shown, which is needed to illustrate notability of the topic (Lego Fornite). As it stands, the notability providing sources (reviews) are predominantly discussing only one set in isolation. This needs more sources discussing the theme as a whole.

{{AFC comment|1=The game mode has its own separate draft at Draft:Lego Fortnite (video game). This draft will remain here in-case The Lego Group confirms a line of physical retail sets. SlySabre (talk) 20:22, 2 December 2023 (UTC)}}

Lego Fortnite (stylised all caps) is a Lego theme based on the online video game of the same name. It is licensed from Epic Games, which The Lego Group's parent company itself, Kirkbi A/S, currently holds a 3% ownership stake in. The theme was released on October 1, 2024, while promotional sets were released to tie-in with the game mode the year prior.
=Background=
On April 7, 2022, Epic Games announced that they had entered a partnership with The Lego Group, and while details were scarce, the two companies were working on creating a "metaverse" designed for younger audiences.{{cite web|last=Malik|first=Aisha|title=Fortnite developer Epic Games and Lego partner to build a metaverse aimed at kids|url=https://techcrunch.com/2022/04/07/fortnite-epic-games-lego-partner-build-metaverse-kids/|publisher=TechCrunch|date=April 7, 2022}} As a result, Lego's parent company, Kirkbi A/S, invested US$1 billion into Epic Games.{{cite web|last=Blair|first=Elizabeth|title=Sony and Lego are investing $2 billion in Epic Games, creator of Fortnite|url=https://www.npr.org/2022/04/11/1092078667/sony-lego-2billion-epic-games-fortnite|publisher=NPR|date=April 11, 2022}}
A year later on November 21, 2023, Lego uploaded a teaser to Twitter unveiling the Supply Llama from the game made out of Lego bricks, thus confirming that the collaboration was underway.{{cite web|last=Bellingham|first=Hope|title=Lego teases Fortnite collaboration with a blocky Loot Llama|url=https://www.gamesradar.com/lego-teases-fortnite-collaboration-with-a-blocky-loot-llama/|publisher=GamesRadar+|date=November 21, 2023}}
