Epic Games is launching a Ninjago-themed update for Lego Fortnite Odyssey on December 11, 2025, celebrating the franchise's 15th anniversary. The update features human-style Fortnite skins for characters like Kai, Cole, Zane, and Jay, alongside a new open-world mode called Rise of the Ninja. Players can master elemental powers and battle a fire-breathing dragon on Ninjago Island.
Update Overview
The December 11, 2025, update for Fortnite's Lego Odyssey mode brings a major Ninjago crossover, marking the first time Epic Games offers Fortnite skins for preexisting Lego characters. This addition coincides with the 15th anniversary of Lego Ninjago and introduces 'Rise of the Ninja,' a substantial new experience within the battle royale game. Players will explore Ninjago Island, an open-world environment where they can learn elemental abilities, practice Spinjitzu, and wield iconic weapons like swords, nunchucks, and shurikens.
New Skins and Lego Pass
Kai, Cole, Zane, and Jay receive both Lego-style and human Fortnite variants. Kai headlines the new Lego Pass, available for 1,400 V-Bucks or through Fortnite Crew subscription, instantly unlocking his dual outfits. Progressing the pass with XP from any Fortnite mode yields Ninjago-themed builds and decor usable in Lego Fortnite Odyssey or Brick Life. The other three characters will appear in the item shop on launch day, purchasable individually or in a bundle with accessories.
Gameplay Features
In Rise of the Ninja, players visit Sanctums to master elements and combat skills, facing challenges including a powerful fire-breathing dragon boss. The mode emphasizes elemental powers and ninja weaponry, integrating seamlessly into Fortnite's metaverse. Future 2026 updates are teased, potentially adding Lloyd, Nya, and Master Wu, along with more content.
This update follows Fortnite Chapter 7's release and wraps up major 2025 additions, including Fortnite OG Season 7 and Winterfest. It expands Lego Fortnite's collaborative scope without altering core battle royale mechanics.
