Fortnite expands its LEGO universe again, and this time it leans on a brand that fits the mode’s adventure tone. NINJAGO arrives as a full theme for LEGO Fortnite Odyssey, with new gameplay on a dedicated island and a fresh set of cosmetics that also work across Fortnite’s other modes.

The headline for many players sits in the Locker. Epic introduces NINJAGO characters as Fortnite Outfits and LEGO Styles, led by Fire Master Kai. The drop also sets up a longer roadmap, since Epic already confirms a second NINJAGO update for 2026.

Fortnite Ninjago skins and release timing

Epic launches LEGO Fortnite Odyssey: NINJAGO – Rise of the Ninja on December 11, 2025. Epic frames the update around NINJAGO Island, ELEMENTAL abilities, and Spinjitzu as the story moves forward over time. 

Epic does not lock a single global “minute” in the announcement post, so plan around normal patch downtime. You should check official Fortnite status messaging if you want the exact live moment for your region.

All Fortnite Ninjago skins and current prices

Fortnite splits NINJAGO skins across two tracks: the LEGO Pass and the Item Shop bundle.

LEGO Pass (instant unlock)

• Fire Master Kai (Outfit + LEGO Style)

Item Shop bundle

• LIGHTNING Master Jay
• EARTH Master Cole
• ICE Master Zane

Epic lists the LEGO NINJAGO Bundle at a discounted price of 2,800 V-Bucks. The bundle page also shows it stays purchasable until Dec 17, 2025 (local time shown on the page).

NINJAGO LEGO Pass: Cost, access, and progression

The NINJAGO LEGO Pass costs 1,400 V-Bucks. Fortnite Crew also grants access to the pass during the active period, so Crew members can claim the pass without buying it separately.

When you buy the pass, you unlock Fire Master Kai instantly. Then you earn the rest of the pass rewards through account leveling. You unlock one reward per two account levels, and the full pass takes 60 levels to complete.

Here is what the pass focuses on, in practical terms:

• Major LEGO builds and themed structures that expand your Odyssey base options
• Decor bundles that support room themes and village style
• At least one emote and multiple loading screen

This way, players will enjoy the game while getting rewards based on their performance and play time. This is a classic approach to seasonal and event passes. However, you need to pay some V-Bucks to get the remainder of the bundle.

What the NINJAGO update adds to LEGO Fortnite Odyssey

This update does more than drop skins. Epic places players on NINJAGO Island, and the mode pushes a ninja fantasy loop built around exploration, combat, and skill growth.

Core gameplay pillars that matter for new and returning players:

• ELEMENTAL abilities that shape combat options and progression 
• Spinjitzu as a signature mechanic that supports movement and fighting
• A story structure that evolves, which keeps the island active beyond week one

How to get the skins fast without wasting time

You can finish most of the cosmetic chase with a simple plan.

1. Decide your track first. If you mainly want three Outfits at once, start with the bundle. If you want Kai and long-term LEGO building content, start with the pass.
2. Buy the pass early if you want full value. The pass ties progress to leveling, so early purchase gives you more time to reach 60 levels.
3. Treat levels as your currency. Every two account levels move the pass forward by one reward, so routine XP play matters more than one long session.
4. Check the shop timer. Epic posts an end date on the official bundle page, so you can avoid missing the window.

NINJAGO content for creators in UEFN and Creative

Epic also supports creators who build LEGO experiences. The official ecosystem notes for Fortnite 39.10 say the release adds LEGO NINJAGO content, with a starter island template and themed assets that creators can use in UEFN and Creative projects.
