Fortnite has been known for its incredible collaborations with various franchises over the years. Fans have been anticipating a full-scale collaboration with The Witcher since the start of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1. While Geralt of Rivia was part of the Battle Pass, other characters from the franchise were nowhere to be seen. However, rumors began circulating during the Fortnite update v25.10 that two new outfits would be added to the game, one of which was Ciri, and the other one was still shrouded in mystery. With the help of leakers and data-miners, the second outfit has been decrypted as well, and it is Yennefer of Vengerberg. Let’s dive into the details of these outfits and what they mean for The Witcher and Fortnite franchises.
Ciri and Yennefer of Vengerberg Outfits
Ciri and Yennefer of Vengerberg are two of the most prominent female characters from The Witcher franchise, and they will soon be added to the Item Shop in Fortnite. While there is no timeline in place, they should be added in prior to the premiere of The Witcher Season 3 on June 29, 2023. By all accounts, they may even be added in after the next rotation cycle. These outfits will be the extent of this new crossover, unlike last time around, where there were challenges/quests associated with things. It is also unlikely that either of these characters will feature in-game as NPCs on the island.
Cosmetic Items
While the number of cosmetic items being imported to Fortnite is few in number, they do serve to increase the lore connectivity between the franchises in-game. Here is the list of all cosmetic items:
- Ciri Outfit
- Yennefer of Vengerberg Outfit
- Zireael Pickaxe
- Bird Skull Back Bling
- Yennefer’s Megascope Pickaxe
- Basilisk Glider
- Black Wings Emote
Having the Basilisk as a Glider is a nice touch. The bird skull back bling is also a nod to the series, as it is one of the symbols of the Wild Hunt.
Future Collaborations
With two more characters being added to the franchise, this is a good sign that there may be more collaborations in the future. Other major characters such as Jaskier, Triss Merigold, and Vesemir may be added in via another collaboration. The Witcher franchise has a lot of potential for collaborations with Fortnite, and it will be interesting to see how the two franchises work together in the future.
Conclusion
The addition of Ciri and Yennefer of Vengerberg to Fortnite as outfits is exciting news for fans of both franchises. While there may not be any in-game events associated with this collaboration, it does increase the lore connectivity between the two franchises in-game. The addition of these outfits is a good sign that there may be more collaborations in the future, and fans can look forward to seeing what other characters may be added in the future. Overall, this is a great addition to the game, and fans of The Witcher will surely be pleased with what Fortnite has to offer.
