Cyberpunk Infiltrates Fortnite!
Of course, the various collaborations with Fortnite, which have seen some really cool stuff over the years, are no surprise. However, occasionally content that we think is more interesting than others does make its way into the game – it’s worth remembering, for example, last year’s Alan Wake: Flashback special map, which served as a recap of the ideal build-up to the release of the Alan Wake 2 sequel. It’s not yet a precursor to a sequel this time around, but many fans will be pleased to hear that Fortnite has joined forces with CD Projekt again in the latest batch of news and collaborations, and after The Witcher, there’s Cyberpunk 2077.
V and Johnny Hit the Island
Fortnite has welcomed a visitor from Night City, as the announcement teaser proclaimed, which more accurately means a Night City Denizens Bundle headed by the legendary Johnny Silverhand and the female protagonist V, that is. Johnny’s inclusion means that this is the second time his actor character Keanu Reeves will be appearing in the game, as John Wick has previously made a visit to Fortnite. As for V, the choice of a female variant of the character for a change has raised questions in the community as to whether this means that this V is the canino for Cyberpunk 2077. That’s not true, by the way, as the developers have previously clarified that both characters are equal and neither is canon at the expense of the other. In addition to the skins of Johnny and V, the package then includes Mantis blades, Johnny’s guitar, katana and satchel, and for V, a Flathead drone from Militech. The skins and accessories don’t stop there, though, as there’s also a Cyberpunk Vehicle Bundle, which includes the Quadra Turbo-R vehicle – which players can also get in Rocket League and vice versa after purchasing. Of course, there’s a whole host of customisation options.
Master Chief Returns
Anyway, speaking of in-game collaborations, Halo’s Master Chief has returned to Fortnite for the first time in a while, which has caused some confusion among players. It was previously possible to get the Matte Black skin as part of the Xbox exclusives, but now it’s no longer possible.
