Fortnite joins forces with a beloved franchise, delighting fans by introducing two iconic characters Prepare for an epic crossover as the world of Fortnite expands with these highly anticipated additions
Two beloved characters from The Witcher 3 will be joining the roster of Fortnite, marking an exciting collaboration between the two franchises. This announcement may not come as a surprise to many players, as rumors of a Fortnite and The Witcher collaboration have been circulating online. Regardless, the addition of these characters is sure to captivate fans of both Fortnite and The Witcher 3.
Fortnite has a history of teaming up with various popular intellectual properties, including the Marvel Cinematic Universe and artist Marshmello. Most recently, the battle royale game partnered with Nike for the Airphoria event, offering players a Nike-themed gameplay experience. This event, similar to the NBA Creative Hub Challenge in 2021, featured unique cosmetics and collectibles. Now, following the success of the Nike collaboration, Fortnite is once again delving into the world of a beloved franchise with The Witcher.
The latest collaboration between Fortnite and The Witcher 3, titled "A Tale of Two Tempests," introduces Ciri and Yennefer to the battle royale game. Players will have the opportunity to acquire skins for both characters, as well as exclusive items that enhance their gameplay. Ciri's bundle includes her sword Zireael, which can be used as a Harvesting Tool and Back Bling, as well as a Basilisk Glider. On the other hand, Yennefer's bundle features the Megascope Harvesting Tool, a Bird Skull Back Bling, and the Black Wings Emote. Starting June 23 at 7 AM ET, players can purchase these items from the Item Shop, although the duration of their availability has not been specified by Fortnite.
This collaboration is likely part of the promotional campaign for Netflix's upcoming season of The Witcher, which is set to release its first part on June 29. It follows the inclusion of Geralt in Fortnite's Chapter 4 Season 1 Battle Pass, which occurred shortly after CD Projekt Red released the next-gen update for The Witcher 3. Similar to Ciri and Yennefer, Geralt's in-game skin was accompanied by a unique set of character-themed items.
The availability of Fortnite on various platforms such as Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S makes the announcement of the collaboration even more exciting for players. It presents an opportunity for fans to incorporate Witcher-themed items and cosmetics into their gameplay, further enhancing their gaming experience.
