Welcome to the Lost Isles – a hidden world with lush biomes to explore, resources to harvest, and dangers lurking within the shadows. Epic Games dropped the colossal update on September 17th, 2024 and players can navigate to this region via the nearest Battle Bus Station scattered throughout their worlds. This diverse environment brings together five ecosystems teeming with welcoming companions including the Peely Tribe and formidable foes – Golems pack quite a punch. Exploring the skybound Floating Islands yields great rewards whilst the untamed Jungle hides a familiar face. Klombo has found refuge amongst the foliage and players can even tame the loveable goofball to demolish builds.
Pirates have ported along the shores of the Lost Isles and are not fond of strangers eyeing up their booty! Players arm themselves with seafaring weapons like Flint-Knock Pistols or throw more primitive Throwing Spears at their enemies. Tools can be strengthened at the Rune Forge – equipping Runes greatly enhances its effectiveness and durability with seven different types available to craft:
- Berserk | Damage | Destruction | Durability | Health | Luck | Undead Bane
Recipes can be acquired by reading Tomes which are restricted to the Floating Islands biome.

Players can grab the Island Adventure Peely Outfit for 1,400 V-Bucks and progress through the latest LEGO Fortnite Battle Pass – unlocking Decor cosmetics to transform any world into an island paradise. There are FREE and Premium Reward Tracks to pursue with rewards featured in the Tropical Treasures event capable of appearing in the Item Shop down the road now that Epic Games has effectively transitioned away from exclusivity altogether:
