Lego Fortnite

One of the biggest announcements of the season was Lego Fortnite, a whole new survival game mode that’s seperate from creative and battle royale. One of the most interesting things about this game mode is the Lego mini figures of the Fortnite characters which they have more than 1200 characters done, and any character that you already own and has a Lego theme character you already own it for free in your locker. There would also be future game modes of Lego coming in the future too and you can earn XP for the battle pass too.

About the Contributor

Justin Morocho, Journalist

Hi I'm Justin Morocho and I'm a Junior at HSTAT. I grew up in Ecuador and was raised there with my mom until I was eight. At the age of eight I moved to New York. After that I grew up in Sunset park. In my free time I like to go outside with my friends and do random stuff. My favorite place to go with them is Sunset or Manhattan. I like to play Fifa in my free time and I also love food. I am in this year's newspaper class because Mr. Lewis told me to sign up for it sophomore year, and now I'm here writing about whatever happens in or outside of school. I hope I do well because I'm not the best writer, and I don't like to write about random stuff because they force you to take a small story and make it long. My favorite color is either green, blue or red. They are all really nice. I'm a very indecisive person. I let people choose my decisions for me but that doesn't help. But that's a little about me.
