Night City streets are coming back to the Fortnite battle royale. Epic Games and CD Projekt Red have released new teasers for the Cyberpunk 2077 collaboration. The hype among gamers across the world is huge. If you are a skin hunter or a fan of Night City, this Wave 2 update has something new, something old, and something game-changing for you. It’s the perfect time before the arrival of Chapter 7 Season 2. Let’s get into the details.
Cyberpunk 2077 Makes Its Way Back to Fortnite
The Cyberpunk 2077 collab with Fortnite’s return isn’t just rumor; Epic Games announced Wave 2 with a post from their Epic Games Store, shared by Cyberpunk’s official X account. Continuing from their December 2024 release, which sold out Female V and Johnny Silverhand skins within hours, this return guarantees more Night City edge to Fortnite’s colorful island aesthetic.
So far, details are light, even at a teaser level, but leaks suggest Item Shop releases are expected between March 7-10, coinciding with possible server downtime and preparations for Chapter 7 Season 2. No patch notes are available, but we can expect new locker items such as cyberware mythics and fire-reactive cosmetics.
Is Fortnite Bringing Adam Smasher to the Game?

Yes, the signs are screaming Adam Smasher here! The collab teaser sports the Arasaka logo, the megacorporation responsible for the deadliest full-body cyborg in Cyberpunk 2077, and the cheeky “smashing” pun. The fans on Reddit and X are going wild, imagining the massive villain (from the game or Edgerunners anime) looming over the competition with Thanos-like girth. Adam Smasher is a great fit for Fortnite: a heavy outfit with chrome trim that reacts to damage, maybe even a ground-pound emote based on the brutal tabletop lore. If it happens, the collab could earn 1,800-2,200 V-Bucks with matching back bling such as a broken Skull head.

How to Get Fortnite Skins Quickly:
- Download Fortnite Tracker or Fortnite.GG mobile apps to receive Item Shop updates.

- Check Crew Pack rewards if you are a Fortnite subscriber – you might receive free skins like V’s nomad bike back bling.
The Story Behind the Original Cyberpunk 2077 Fortnite Event
The first Cyberpunk 2077 collab, Fortnite, returns in December 2024, featuring Female V (1,500 V-Bucks), Johnny Silverhand with guitar pickaxe, Mantis Blades, and a Quadra vehicle wrap. It sold out quickly due to features like V’s jacket lighting up with kills and connections to the revamped RPG after Phantom Liberty.
Fans praised the accuracy of the lore, from Silverhand’s engram feels in solos to cyberware harvesting in squads. Wave 2 appears to be a direct response to “Male V when?” threads on FortniteBR’s subreddit.
Why Cyberpunk 2077 Is Still Popular in 2026
Cyberpunk 2077 was released in 2020 but saw a massive return with Update 2.0 and Phantom Liberty, now a top-tier open-world RPG on PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and even Nintendo Switch 2. Night City’s dense districts, branching narratives, and cyberbuilds make for a natural Fortnite fit.
Edgerunners Season 2 is coming on Netflix, a Project Orion sequel is in the works, and a Mac port is on the horizon. This collab is keeping the hype alive with the gritty merc lifestyle and battle royale gameplay.
Pro Tips for Using Cyberpunk Skins in Battle
- Adam Smasher Loadout: Use it with shotgun mythics for smashing up close; his size attracts fire, but he can tank it.
- Male V Stealth: Optical camo and SMG for third-partying.
- Squad Synergy: One player gets Silverhand for some long-range riffs, another gets V for some hacks – full Night City squad.
- Pro Tip: Try it out in creative mode before ranked play; reactive glows show up at neon-lit POIs if Epic releases a Night City drop.
