HYPEX uncovered intriguing descriptions within the game files, one of which states, “A mercenary hired to steal a very important relic.” This is likely an allusion to V, Cyberpunk 2077’s main character, suggesting that a skin of V may be available. It remains unclear if players will be able to choose between male and female versions, mirroring the options available in the original game.
Another clue states, “Might be Arasaka’s finest forearm implants,” hinting at the possibility of introducing Mantis Blades—metal sword implants that emerge from the wrist. Players may anticipate these as an Emote or Pickaxe, or perhaps even as a weapon within Fortnite.
The last clue refers to a “CHOOH2-fueled muscle racer,” likely indicating a vehicle or car variant. This could translate into a new Glider or emote, or potentially even a vehicle addition to the Fortnite map or the Rocket Racing mode.
Moreover, HYPEX disclosed that Johnny Silverhand will also be featured in the crossover, likely receiving unique cosmetics. Although details are sparse, it would not be unexpected if he receives a skin modeled after Keanu Reeves, similar to his previous appearance in the John Wick character from Chapter 1 Season 9.
However, it’s essential to note that this information rests solely on leaks and not yet on any formal announcements from Epic Games. As new updates materialize, we will provide further insights on skins, cosmetics, and all exciting features brought by this intriguing partnership.
