It's perhaps not surprising to see Cyberpunk 2077 appear in Fortnite: its developer, CD Projekt Red, has forged close ties with Epic Games through its switch to Unreal Engine for future development (The Witcher 4's first trailer and our first look to The Witcher's). world in Unreal, debuted this month at The Game Awards). And Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri from the series joined Fortnite previously.
Fun fact: This will be Keanu Reeves' second character in Fortnite, following his previous addition as John Wick. But he is not the first actor to enter the game twice. Zendaya (in her versions of Spider-Man and Dune) and Harrison Ford (as Han Solo and Indiana Jones) have also arrived in Fortnite more than once.
Fortnite's latest additions come amid a typically busy holiday season for the game. Its Winterfest event now offers daily free cosmetic rewards (leading to a Santa Snoop Dogg skin on Christmas Day), heralded by Mariah Carey's in-game arrival from a giant block of ice. Oh, and Skibidi Toilet is now in the game too.
