What’s New with the Keanu Skins?
The latest update introduces skins for Johnny Silverhand, the charismatic rocker with a cybernetic arm, and V, the customizable main character from Cyberpunk 2077. Both characters come with unique accessories:
- Johnny Silverhand: Equipped with a katana and his signature rockstar vibe.
- V: Available in both male and female versions, featuring mantis blades and a sleek Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech vehicle.
The addition of these skins not only amplifies Fortnite’s pop culture appeal but also showcases its ability to integrate beloved characters from other franchises seamlessly.
Keanu’s Fortnite Legacy
For those keeping track, this isn’t Keanu’s first appearance in Fortnite. His first skin was inspired by his John Wick character, which quickly became a fan favorite. Now, with the Cyberpunk skins, Keanu solidifies his status as one of the most celebrated figures in the game. Fans are jokingly calling Fortnite the “Keanuverse” as his presence grows.

Social media is buzzing with reactions. One fan tweeted, “Keanu Reeves is taking over Fortnite, and honestly, I’m here for it.” Others are poking fun at the sheer number of skins, with memes showing Keanu battling himself in every corner of the map.
The excitement isn’t just about the skins themselves—it’s about what they represent. The collaboration between Fortnite and Cyberpunk 2077 brings together two beloved gaming communities, creating a shared moment of celebration and creativity.
Why Cyberpunk 2077?
Fortnite’s partnership with Cyberpunk 2077 comes at an ideal time. With the game’s recent resurgence following the success of its Phantom Liberty expansion, this collaboration keeps both franchises in the spotlight. It’s a win-win for fans of the futuristic RPG and Fortnite’s ever-evolving world.
How to Get the Skins
The Cyberpunk skins are available in the Fortnite item shop, purchasable with V-Bucks. Players can grab them individually or as part of exclusive bundles, which include character-specific accessories and gear. These limited-time items are expected to become collector’s favorites, so snagging them while they’re available is a must.
Fortnite continues to lead the way in integrating pop culture into gaming. With Keanu Reeves’ growing presence, the game keeps proving its ability to surprise and delight players. Fans are already speculating about what other franchises might join the Fortnite universe next. Could we see even more Keanu skins, or perhaps characters from his other iconic roles, like The Matrix? The possibilities are endless.
