The rumors about the Fortnite Cyberpunk 2077 collab began circulating after SamLeaksss shared intriguing details on X (formerly Twitter). The leak so far suggests that the collaboration will make its debut in Rocket League before transitioning to Fortnite. This move could mean the arrival of Cyberpunk-themed vehicles and cosmetics in Rocket League before a full-scale integration into Fortnite battle royale mode.
The inclusion of the Johnny Silverhand who is the iconic character from Cyberpunk 2077 portrayed by Keanu Reeves is perhaps the most exciting part of this collaboration. There is a high chance that Silverhand will join Fortnite’s Icon series probably bundled with a few other accessories such as signature guitar and futuristic weaponry.
The leaks also hint at a significant update to the map in Fortnite Chapter 6 which means it’ll be heavily inspired by the game’s Night City world. This could include industrial and Japanese-themed areas where players can land and loot the essential equipment. When it comes to the melee weapons, we expect Epic to add Mantis Blades, Mono Wires or Katana to the loot pool.
Finally, it’s worth noting that the aforementioned info is purely based on the leaks and speculations which is why we highly recommend taking it with a pinch of salt until we have official details for this crossover.
