Over the last few weeks, there has been a lot of talk about Klombos returning to the Metaverse via LEGO Fortnite. While leakers/data miners have shared evidence, Epic Games never confirmed the same. As such, everything was based on speculation and hints dropped by the developers.
Well, there has been a massive development regarding Klombos coming to Fortnite's LEGO mode. A short while ago, Caspar Bennedsen, who was building something on the 7-Day 24/7 LEGO Fortnite Big Build Livestream, exchanged a few words with the host. Suffice it to say, there was likely a slip-up and a reveal far sooner than was planned.
Klombos should arrive in LEGO Fortnite during the next update (v31.10)
While the community expected what Caspar Bennedsen was building to be a Klombo, there was no confirmation of the same until now. This is what was said during the conversation:
Master the game with our Fortnite Interactive Map v33.00 here!
Caspar Bennedsen:
"Could we do an Easter egg in this build?"
Host:
"Oh, my gosh, that's a great idea. Chat, why don't you pick what Easter egg element we should put inside the Klombo."
Given the partnership between Epic Games and LEGO, the only logical reason to build a Klombo is to hype the community for its return.
Coming back to the conversation, after the word "Klombo" was said, based on the video, the host slipped up. Instead of saying "build," she said "Klombo." As seen in the video, she tries to play it off. However, it was rather obvious what she meant, which came as a delight for Klombo enthusiasts.
Here is the video below:
Note: To find this portion of the conversation, scroll until the "Build Time Left" located on the bottom right of the video shows "4 Days 23 Hours 50 Minutes".
When could Klombos debut in Fortnite's LEGO mode?
With the LEGO livestream ending on September 5, 2024, which is a Thursday, it lines up perfectly for the next update. This is based on the fact that the downtime for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 began on August 15, 2024, at 11 pm Eastern Time.
As such, the next major update will likely be on a Thursday as well. It was usually kept for Tuesdays, but Epic Games could be making some changes. That being said, they are expected to publicly confirm the time and date for the update in the coming days.
