Epic Games and the Lego Group have announced that two major updates for Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) will be released this month, including the highly requested brick-by-brick building feature.

Announced during the State of Unreal 2025 event on June 3, Lego Brick Editor and Lego Bloom Tycoon will arrive on June 17, and are said to “further extend the Lego System in Play in a digital setting”.

Lego Brick Editor will bring brick-by-brick building to UEFN, with 50 Lego bricks available for users to experiment with at release, simulating the snapping and connectivity of real-life Lego bricks. Creators will be able to build custom assets like bridges, houses, animatable props, and static meshes, and also customize individual elements using a color picker from a selection of 42 production-specific colors matching actual Lego bricks.

Epic and the Lego Group have also confirmed that the feature will be expanded over time with more bricks and capabilities.

Then there’s Lego Bloom Tycoon, which offers five new galleries and 200 new assets that will allow creators to build an assortment of game ideas from a collection of props, gameplay pieces, animals, and more.

“Our goal is to give creators a deeper level of customization and control, and these features significantly expand the creative toolkit for building Lego islands,” Epic Games said in a blog post. “Creators will have more resources for game development, from fine-tuning gameplay mechanics to designing completely custom props. Epic and the Lego Group will continue to work alongside creators to provide even more tools to let creativity shine.”

Creators will have the tools to craft their own worlds, invent new game modes and tycoon-style gameplay, build farms and gardens, and more.

“We are so excited to see what the UEFN community make with these new updates. We are continually blown away by the creativity and imagination we see from creators, and we believe these new tools, assets and templates significantly expand the creative toolkit to build Lego Islands,” said Kari Vinther Nielsen, Head of Product, Play & Creator Growth, GAME at the Lego Group.

“Our objective is to continually offer deeper customisation and control to the hugely talented UEFN creators and through Lego Bloom Tycoon and Lego Brick Gallery we are putting creativity in the spotlight and giving creators what they are asking for–more bricks!”

In other news, Fortnite has just added an AI-generated Darth Vader, which uses the recreated voice of actor James Earl Jones, prompting the SAG-AFTRA actors guild to file an unfair-labor-practice complaint against Epic Games.
