While the LEGO counterparts to over 1,000 skins are pretty adorable, it doesn’t seem like there is a way to play them in battle royale… at least for the time being.

Currently, there is no way to play as a LEGO character in the battle royale format of Fortnite. This is the same with all known LEGO characters in-game at this time… and there are a lot of them.

While the characters could be added in the future or specific LEGO-like characters made for Battle Royale, the LEGO versions of each character are locked behind the upcoming LEGO Fortnite game that releases Dec. 7.

Not much is currently known about the mode itself, but with only a few days left until launch, I’m sure we will find out more about it soon enough. Until then, we will be patiently awaiting the day we can drop down from the battle bus into the battle royale mode as a LEGO character to enter the zany metaverse that Epic Games has created.
