Shiina, the famousFortniteleaker who recently released information about thedifferent stages of The Apparatus, has posted on Twitter that the upcoming v27.00 update may not be the anticipated Chapter 4 Season 5 update gamers expect. Instead, players could potentially see a vast LEGO event takeover of the battle royale shooter. According to the information, the event would include a vast amount of content but still be classified as a continuation of Season 4.
Shiina does name two sources for this particular rumor: two other reliableFortniteleakers, Wenso and Andre. They corroborate the information and expect the LEGO xFortniteupdate to be released in December after a live in-game event at the end of November. While Shiina is remaining non-committal about the timing of a potential LEGO crossover, they note that a xx.00 update has always been a new season ofFortnite, soit seems strange that Epic wouldn’t label the LEGO collaboration as such.

There is also the subject of mopping up the final story tasks, currently revolving aroundmysterious changes happening to The Apparatus landmark, which will also be closed to players once the new season starts at the end of August.
