Johnny Silverhand in Fortnite

Fortnite is ostensibly a battle royale game in which players fight within the confines of a slowly constricting circle until only one remains. But it’s more notable as a theater for pop culturecrossovers: Witness, in 2024 alone, the inclusion ofLady Gaga, theCybertruck,Kamala Harris,Skibidi Toilet, and in case you’d forgotten what time of year it is,Mariah Carey. There’s no rhyme or reason to it that I can ascertain beyond “the kids like this, right?” (andmoney, of course) and so while I can’t say it’s not unexpected, I’m also not all that surprised that dead rockerboy-slash-terrorist Johnny Silverhand will soon join the fray.

“We’re expecting some guests from Night City,” Epic teased, and while no further details have been shared, it sure looks like both Johnny and V will be joining in on the fun.

I’m guessing that statistic won’t come up in the context of Fortnite, but it would be extremely funny if the game’s current season ended with Johnny vaporizing Seaport City. That’s probably not going to happen either but I dare to dream.

On the other hand, Fortnite leaker HypeX shared images of the Cyberpunk 2077 cosmetics coming to Fortnite, and included among them is what is 100% a nuclear warhead stuffed inside a gym bag. Make of that what you will.
