Epic Games is set to expand Fortnite's LEGO universe with major updates to both Brick Life and Odyssey modes on April 22, 2025. The "Get Cookin'" update introduces fishing and an elaborate cooking system to Brick Life, while Odyssey players can embark on a treasure hunt in the limited-time "Oro's Treasure" event running until May 5.
Brick Life Gets Fishing and Cooking Systems
The upcoming Brick Life update transforms the LEGO Fortnite experience with the introduction of fishing. Players can grab Fishing Rods and head to Brick Bay to catch various fish species, which can be displayed as pets in tanks, mounted as trophies, gifted to friends, sold for profit, or used as ingredients in the new cooking system.
A dedicated Fishing Shop will open in town, offering equipment purchases and fishing-related job opportunities. For collectors, the addition of fish tanks provides a creative way to showcase their aquatic achievements throughout their LEGO homes.
Master Chef: Four Cooking Stations to Explore
Culinary enthusiasts will enjoy the comprehensive cooking system featuring four specialized Cooktops:
- Oven - Perfect for baking cookies, pies, mac & cheese, and fries
- Stove - Ideal for pancakes, omelettes, and breakfast sandwiches
- Blender - Creates refreshing beverages like iced tea, milkshakes, and fruit punch
- Cutting Board - For assembling sandwiches, desserts, and elaborate seafood towers
The cooking process incorporates timing-based mechanics and a recipe system that encourages experimentation with different ingredient combinations. Players can discover new recipes through trial and error, adding a layer of exploration to the culinary experience.
Climb the Career Ladder
Career-minded LEGO citizens can now pursue promotions at Durrr Burger and RoboRoll Sushi. The job system expands with up to five promotion ranks per establishment, each requiring special tasks to advance. Successful promotions reward players with exclusive furniture items like the Durrr Stripe Sofa and Bed.
Additionally, a Task Board in Town Square will offer various quests for players to earn Creds, the in-game currency used throughout Brick Life.
Hunt for Oro's Treasure in Odyssey Mode
Odyssey mode welcomes the "Oro's Treasure" event, challenging players to track down Golden Chests while battling Rebel Oro's followers. The limited-time event runs from April 22 to May 5, 2025 (9 AM ET), giving adventurers two weeks to complete their treasure hunting quests.
Players can follow butterflies that may lead to hidden Golden Chests. The event features three progressive quest tiers with exclusive rewards:
- Find 2 Golden Chests to unlock The Antique Trunk recipe
- Find 5 Golden Chests to unlock The Azure Trunk recipe
- Find 10 Golden Chests to unlock The Golden Trunk recipe
When Will These Updates Launch?
Both the "Get Cookin'" update for Brick Life and "Oro's Treasure" for Odyssey will launch simultaneously on April 22, 2025. Mark your calendars for this substantial content drop that significantly expands the LEGO Fortnite experience across both game modes.
Remember that the Oro's Treasure event is time-limited, so be sure to complete your Golden Chest quests before the event concludes on May 5, 2025, at 9 AM ET to secure all three exclusive trunk recipes.
