Rumor has it that Cyberpunk 2077 will be making a splash in the Fortnite Shop by December 23, and the collaboration looks set to feature iconic characters V and Johnny Silverhand. Fortnite has been racking up collaborations, pushing boundaries with the likes of the exciting new Mariah Carey partnership. Epic Games is keenly focused on bringing in some of the most celebrated games from recent years, and the buzz around a Cyberpunk 2077 twist on Fortnite matches has players talking.
For a while now, gamers have speculated about the Cyberpunk 2077 and Fortnite crossover, and the anticipation is finally nearing its end as characters are reportedly heading to the shop soon. With Project Orion and The Witcher 4 both being crafted in Unreal Engine 5, a growing alliance between CD Projekt Red and Epic Games hints at the potential for even more exciting collaborations down the road.
A trusted Fortnite source, @HYPEX, took to Twitter to share a leak from @SpushFNBR about the eagerly awaiting Cyberpunk 2077 tie-in. According to these whispers, V and Johnny Silverhand, along with their unique outfits and weapons, will land in Fortnite on December 23. Expect to see Johnny wielding a Katana with a Night City-themed Wrap, an Emote, while V brings the heat with Mantis Blades and a new Vehicle.
As it stands, here’s what players can look forward to adding to their collections:
– 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 not yet revealed
– V’s Mantis Blades: 800 V-Bucks
– Complete Bundle: 2,800 V-Bucks
– Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech: 1,800 V-Bucks
Continuing with the juicy details, SpushFNBR mentioned Johnny arrives with unique Backbling, and fans will be thrilled to get their hands on his guitar. V will adorn the Flathead Backbling inspired by one of the game’s initial missions, with their Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech vehicle—a memorable feature from Cyberpunk 2077’s trailers and gameplay. The entire collection, available as a bundle for 2800 V-Bucks, will be decrypting just in time for U.S. players on December 23 and those in Europe by December 24.
Fans have met this news with enthusiasm, eager to see some of the most standout characters from Cyberpunk 2077 jump into the Fortnite fray. Yet, some note that Johnny Silverhand might not be too thrilled about being turned into a microtransaction, given his principles against corporate exploitation. Of course, others are hopeful that this is merely the start, and perhaps casts from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners could also find their way into the game with new skins and items.
