Fortnitemay be getting ready to announce its next collaboration withThe Witcherfranchise with a potential brand-new skin for Ciri. It’s not uncommon to see characters from other renowned franchises make their way toFortnite, in fact, it has now grown to be a staple within the player base.The Witcheritself has seen a surge in popularity in recent years, and now it looks like Epic Games may be looking to bank on its growing appeal.
During the past few months, fans have been treated to a number of character appearances ranging from Anakin Skywalker to Spider-Man 2099. More recently,Optimus Prime was officially unveiled inFortniteChapter 4 Season 3as part of theTransformers: Rise of the Beastsmovie promotion.

According to well-knownFortniteleaker iFireMonkey’s tweet (via Shiina), Ciri fromThe Witchermay be making her way to the battle royale soon. The tweet claims that it might not be long until Ciri appears on the Item Shop, particularly after “a Player Icon with her face was added in today’s update, and the icon is part of an encrypted set.” It’s worth noting that details regarding how the skin can be earned or when it will go online are unknown asFortniteis yet to make an official announcement. However, the timing does fall in line with Netflix’s show as thethird season ofThe Witcherseries is set to kick off on June 29.
Of course, this isn’t the first timeThe Witchercollaborated withFortnite. Back in February,Geralt of Rivia joinedFortniteas part of its Season 4 Chapter 1 Battle Pass. Players keen on getting Geralt were assigned five quests where each quest completion granted a specific cosmetic item tied to the character. As of now, it’s unclear what the specifics around Ciri will be, but her character inclusion will most likely stipulate similar requirements as well.
WhileFortniteis yet to confirm Ciri’s arrival, it won’t be the only IP that’s reportedly collaborating with the battle royale. Recently,Nike unveiled aFortnitecollaboration eventwhere players can explore the Airphoria island and get the Air Max 1 ‘86 Back Bling. In any case, the variety of collaborative cosmetics and gameplay items promises to helpFortniteretain its place as one of the top choices in the live-service format. With Ciri reportedly coming to the battle royale soon, it wouldn’t be surprising to see more characters fromThe Witcherin the coming future.
Fortniteis available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
