In the video game industry, it is not uncommon to sometimes see certain collaborations born, for our greatest happiness. And if we have already had the right to a merger between LEGO and the flagship license of Nintendo Super Mariothe toy giant surprises us once again with this time, a collaboration with another great video game, Epic Games.

Although LEGO is mainly specialized in the world of toys, the company still has a huge foothold in the world of gaming. With the recent release of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, the firm has indeed demonstrated once again its know-how, and it is not likely to stop there with its upcoming partnership with Epic Games.
It’s certain the official website of the owner of Fortnite that we were able to discover this new alliance between LEGO and Epic Games, a long-term alliance. Their goal ? Create “an immersive, creative, inspiring and engaging experience for children of all ages“.

We have on one side the first in the toy industry, then on the other Epic Games which no longer has to prove its know-how and which has high-performance tools like the Unreal Engine. The alliance of the two promises to be explosive.
