Fortnite has become the unlikely focus of excitement among Lego Island fans after Pepper Roni himself popped up in the game.

Pepper Roni, who runs the Pizza Shop in Lego Tycoon: Tilted Towers, is lifted from the much-loved Lego Island trilogy. He’s a young delivery boy who delivers pizza to the citizens of Lego Island while working to defeat The Brickster.
Mindscape’s Lego Island launched on PC in 1997 and was well-received by critics. Lego Island 2: The Brickster's Revenge followed in 2001, with the final game, Island Xtreme Stunts, coming out in 2002.
Now, 22 years later, Pepper Roni has returned as the star of this latest Fortnite Lego Island, and fans couldn’t be happier. Here’s a snippet of the reaction:
