"Epic has spent the past few years trying as hard as it can to will the Fortnite metaverse into being--and now, at the end of 2025, it's actually starting to look like it's getting there. Things are still very messy, but Epic's moves in that direction--which frequently seem to involve trying random things just to see what happens--may have finally borne fruit."
"Back at the end of 2023, Fortnite attempted to usher in its metaverse in earnest by launching Fortnite Festival, Rocket Racing, and Lego Fortnite all at once. It didn't quite work, because all three were half-baked and missing key features. The only way to play Racing was in Ranked, Festival lacked instrument support and still doesn't have a practice mode, and Lego Fortnite had the feel of a generic early-access survival game wearing Lego clothing."
Epic has been actively pushing Fortnite toward a metaverse and by late 2025 its efforts are beginning to show tangible results. Earlier 2023 initiatives—Fortnite Festival, Rocket Racing, and Lego Fortnite—launched simultaneously but lacked polish and key features. Epic continued experimenting with new modes and maintained ongoing development instead of focusing solely on those initial projects. Fortnite Creative produced a blockbuster map, Steal the Brainrot, which rivals battle royale modes in concurrent players. Legal victories restored Fortnite's mobile availability in most regions, expanding the game's reach. New cosmetic types added over the past year proved more popular than previous additions like cars and instruments.
