Johnny Silverhand is coming to Fortnite and yup, he’s got a suitcase nuke

Fortnite is ostensibly a battle royale game where players battle within the confines of a slowly narrowing circle until only one is left. But it’s more notable as a theater for pop culture crossovers: witness, in 2024 alone, the inclusion of Lady Gaga, the Cybertruck, 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 other than “kids like this, right?” (and money, of course), and while I can’t say it’s not unexpected, I’m also not too surprised that dead rockerboy-slash-terrorist Johnny Silverhand will join the fray soon.

“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.
