If you thought your gaming universe couldn’t get any wilder, think again! Epic Games has just dropped a teaser confirming that Johnny Silverhand and V from Cyberpunk 2077 are about to debut in Fortnite. It’s a surprising crossover, given what we know about both franchises. Can you imagine characters who embody rebellion against the corporate world popping up in a game known for its vibrant battle royale mayhem? But here we are!
The details around this exciting collaboration remain under wraps, but players are buzzing with anticipation. The teaser shared on social media showed off the female variant of V alongside the iconic Johnny Silverhand, played by none other than Keanu Reeves himself. It’s certainly not his first visit to the Fortnite realm; back in 2019, he popped up as John Wick, which many consider one of his hallmark roles right after portraying Neo in The Matrix.

This time, Johnny Silverhand is stepping into the limelight as one of the key figures from Cyberpunk 2077. His character plays a crucial role in driving the game’s narrative forward. Joining him will be ‘V’, the protagonist for players navigating through Night City’s chaotic streets. Interestingly, while both genders of V exist within the game lore, Epic opted for the female version for this crossover event.
Cyberpunk 2077’s Mantis Blade, possibly reimagined as a pickaxe replacement. That sounds like it could add some flair to those classic Fortnite battles!
A recent leak on social media platforms suggests more goodies may come with these characters. Reports indicate character models were revealed alongside weapon wraps and even back bling featuring those iconic blades.
