Rumors have it that Cyberpunk 2077 is set to make a splash in the Fortnite Shop by December 23, and this exciting collaboration will spotlight none other than V and Johnny Silverhand. Fortnite has been on a roll with its collaborations, constantly raising the bar with epic partnerships like the new Mariah Carey event that has caught everyone by surprise. Epic Games seems committed to bringing some of the most iconic gaming characters to Fortnite, and fans are buzzing at the thought of diving into battles with a Cyberpunk 2077 twist.
Gamers have long been speculating on when we’d see this Cyberpunk 2077 crossover in Fortnite. With whispers circulating for quite some time, it looks like the wait is almost over as character arrivals are imminent. Given that Project Orion is under development with Unreal Engine 5, alongside The Witcher 4, it seems CD Projekt Red and Epic Games might be cooking up a recipe for numerous future tie-ins.
Renowned Fortnite leaker @HYPEX brought to light some juicy details from @SpushFNBR on Twitter about what’s expected in the Cyberpunk 2077 collaboration. According to these leaks, both V and Johnny Silverhand are making their debut in Fortnite come December 23, complete with their ensembles and weaponry. Johnny Silverhand’s pack will include a Katana, a Night City-themed Wrap, and an Emote, while V is coming prepared with Mantis Blades and a slick Vehicle.
Here’s a quick overview of the items:
– V Outfit: 1,500 V-Bucks
– Johnny Silverhand Outfit: 1,500 V-Bucks
– Johnny Silverhand’s Katana: 800 V-Bucks
– Wrap: 500 V-Bucks
– Emote: Price TBD
– V’s Mantis Blades: 800 V-Bucks
– Bundle: 2,800 V-Bucks
– Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech: 1,800 V-Bucks
SpushFNBR further elaborated, mentioning that Johnny will sport a distinctive Backbling, and players can purchase his guitar. V will have a Flathead Backbling inspired by the game’s early missions, and their ride will be the Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech, a car fans will remember from Cyberpunk 2077 trailers and gameplay. These items are set for a bundle release at 2,800 V-Bucks, with the possibility that the Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech might be a separate purchase. By December 22, the cosmetics should be decrypted in the Fortnite Shop, ready for purchase on December 23 in the U.S. and December 24 in Europe.
Fans are thrilled about Cyberpunk’s iconic characters stepping into the Fortnite universe, though there’s a bit of humorous discourse about Johnny Silverhand’s likely disapproval of being sold as a microtransaction due to his rebellious ethos. Some fans are optimistic that this is just the opening chapter, hoping to see more Cyberpunk characters, like those from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, appearing as skins and items in the future.
