LEGO Fortnite falls victim to its own build features as players recreate 9/11 in-game

The highly-anticipated LEGO Fortnite’s extensive creation tools quickly fell into the wrong hands as players took less than a day to recreate the events of 9/11 in the game—a common and unfortunate occurrence in sandbox titles.

Fortnite and LEGO’s collaboration offers players new gameplay and world-building opportunities across an expansive 95-square-kilometer map. Placing, connecting, and breaking bricks in traditional LEGO style means anything is possible, including recreating real-world events. Edgy players quickly took advantage of the tool to recreate a dark event of history.
