FORTNITE X CYBERPUNK 2077: NIGHT CITY'S FINEST READY TO DROP INTO THE BATTLE ROYALE

According to reliable Fortnite leaker Shiina, backed by SamLeaks, everyone's favorite battle royale is preparing to wake the fuck up, samurai - we've got a crossover to burn.

WHAT'S THE DEAL?

The leak suggests that Fortnite is cooking up a collaboration with CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077. And honestly? It makes perfect sense. Fortnite's been collecting gaming icons like they're Pokemon cards, and Johnny Silverhand would fit right in between Master Chief and Kratos in the absolute chaos that is Fortnite's metaverse.

WHAT TO EXPECT

While specific details are still in the dark like a Night City alleyway, it's not hard to imagine what this crossover might bring:

• Johnny Silverhand skin (because who doesn't want Keanu doing Orange Justice?)

• Malorian Arms as a Mythic weapon (hopefully with better aim than Cyberpunk's launch state)

• Maybe even a V skin with customization options that won't make your game crash

THE BIGGER PICTURE

This potential collab comes at an interesting time. Cyberpunk 2077 has finally shed its buggy reputation faster than you can say "corpo rat," and Fortnite's been absolutely killing it with gaming crossovers. It's like the perfect marriage of two worlds - one where you can probably rocket ride while screaming "WAKE UP SAMURAI."

WHEN IS IT HAPPENING?

The leak suggests "soon," which in gaming terms could mean anywhere between tomorrow and when Half-Life 3 releases. But given Fortnite's track record with leaks, "soon" usually means "start saving your V-bucks now."

Cue the obvious joke about whether the crossover will launch in a better state than Cyberpunk did in 2020 - but hey, at least Fortnite's already got the building mechanics down pat.

For now, this is still just a leak, so take it with enough salt to make Night City's street food vendors jealous. But if it's true? Well, catch me dropping into Tilted Towers while humming "Chippin' In."
