LEGO Fortnite may soon introduce a new mode called “Expeditions,” possibly accessed through bus stations. Recent developments from Epic Games indicate the addition of AI versions of characters Noir and Slurp Leviathan in LEGO Fortnite’s Brick Life. This follows the conclusion of Fortnite’s Galactic Battle mini-season, which featured Star Wars characters, locations, and items.
The newly added AI NPCs utilize similar technology as Darth Vader, who was part of the Galactic Battle mini-season. However, unlike Vader, players cannot engage in conversation with Noir and Slurp Leviathan; they simply provide unique reactions to various in-game occurrences. When Darth Vader was introduced, players could interact and include him in their parties, adding a different layer of gaming experience.
Leaks suggest that Expeditions is designed as a co-op experience that players can engage in together, enhancing gameplay diversity. According to leaker Loolo_WRLD, this mode, currently code-named “Mars,” may arrive with the forthcoming 36.10 update. Gamers might also have the option to adjust the difficulty of these expeditions, allowing for customized challenges.
In addition to LEGO Fortnite, Fortnite OG may undergo significant changes as leakers hint at the removal of bots from standard game modes. Currently, lobbies consist of both human players and bots, a practice that began following the introduction of skill-based matchmaking. If the bots are indeed removed, Epic Games may replace them with a casual version featuring a mix of 12 players and 88 bots.
These potential adjustments signal Epic Games’ ongoing efforts to refine the gaming experience based on player feedback, especially following the recent removal of two ranked versions of Fortnite OG. Despite some challenges, many fans remain hopeful about the future direction of Fortnite.
