LEGO Mode May Get Star Wars and Klombo
The rumor states that Fortnite’s LEGO mode will integrate Star Wars content and the addition of a LEGO version of Klombo, the popular Season 1 Chapter 3 dinosaur character.
That’s GOTTA be Klombo!

Potential Storyline Connections
The leaked roadmap does not provide details on the specific story events that will connect the different seasons.
However, speculation suggests that villains like Doctor Doom or Galactus could play a significant role, particularly in the Fantastic Four-themed season.
The Fantastic Four are definitely going to be involved in Fortnite CH5S4.
They will most likely be the protagonists and Doctor Doom will be the main antagonist of the Marvel season.
That’s probably why the placeholder image for the season is a Fantastic Four comic cover. https://t.co/qaCbXyKBSr pic.twitter.com/og8aNHrTcn

Confirmed or Fake?
While leaks should always be taken with a grain of salt, some of the details mentioned seem quite plausible based on past Fortnite events and pop culture happenings:
- Billie Eilish‘s rumored arrival aligns with her new album cycle
- Marvel season tie-ins have happened before (Chapter 2: Season 4) and align with recent Disney deal
- The LEGO mode exists and Klombo was an iconic part of Chapter 3
However, other pieces of info like the Pirates of the Caribbean and Fantastic Four (whose movie isn’t until 2025) inclusions seem more questionable in their timing.
Notable Fortnite leaker @iFireMonkey claimed they could not verify the massive leak, leaving its legitimacy up in the air for now.
⚠️ (Not Confirmed Yet) ⚠️
Recently an image started to float around on 4chan of potential content releasing in each of the core Fortnite modes throughout 2024, while I can’t confirm it to be legit yet, it is interesting to see some well made renders here, and we would be able to… pic.twitter.com/TgXbAoWpTW

But if accurate, it would constitute an unprecedented breach of Epic’s secrecy around their battle royale’s future updates.
