LEGO Fortnite is down for emergency maintenance after a malicious bug has caused entire villages to be destroyed.
LEGO Fortnite‘s release has been a success for Epic Games, as the developers managed to blend survival mechanics with the charm of LEGO.
At its core, the sky is the limit for players as they are given the tools to create whatever they desire. Some insane levels of creation have come forth, with players beautifully recreating locales, iconic vehicles, and monuments in the game.
It’s all fun and games until it comes crashing down, and that’s exactly what’s been happening as a nasty bug has forced Epic Games to shift LEGO Fortnite into maintenance mode.

Player appreciation flooded in, although many are rightfully upset at the progress they’ve lost. Epic Games shared an update that more information will be provided on how they’ve remedied the issue, but it’s still a work in progress.
While LEGO Fortnite has been a success, its status has been quite shaky since it launched due to bugs. A previous issue made players lose village levels.
