Fortnite confirms a crossover with Cyberpunk 2077, featuring iconic characters V and Johnny Silverhand.
In a new teaser, Fortnite confirmed that Johnny Silverhand and V from Cyberpunk 2077 will be coming to the island soon. Cyberpunk 2077 is a popular video game RPG originally released in 2020. After continually improving the game over the course of nearly three years, CD Projekt Red released its award-winning DLC, Phantom Liberty, in 2023. While it has been rumored that the game could be crossing over with Fortnite, this is the first time fans have received official confirmation.
Epic Games recently launched this year’s annual Winterfest within Fortnite. During the 14-day event, players can log into the game daily to receive free rewards. Fortnite players will even be given two free skins over the holiday season, one of which appears to be the santa-themed version of Snoop Dogg sitting within the game’s winter lodge. The collaboration between Fortnite and Snoop Dogg began in November and has proven to be one of many recent crossovers.
Fortnite recently posted a teaser on Twitter showing off new skins of Cyberpunk 2077‘s V and Johnny Silverhand in the popular battle royale. According to content creators who were given early access by Epic Games, the cosmetics will release on December 23 when Fortnite‘s Item Shop resets. In addition to the skins, fans can expect to see harvesters, backblings, a wrap, and a new vehicle for sale as well. So far, many fans seem to be enthusiastic about the design of the iconic characters, which is great news for Epic Games. In another recent collaboration, some fans were upset about the appearance of Beyond the Spider-Verse‘s Peter B. Parker in Fortnite.
