John Wick is officially in Fortnite - The Verge

One of gaming’s worst-kept secrets is finally official: you can now play as John Wick in Fortnite. Today, developer Epic announced the latest crossover event for the battle royale game, which includes a number of features based on the slick assassin just ahead of the debut of John Wick: Chapter 3 this weekend.

The crossover event is essentially split into two parts. For one, you can buy a John Wick skin and assorted gear. (It looks much more like Keanu Reeves than the previous, unofficial skin fans dubbed “John Wick.”) There’s also a new limited time mode called “Wick’s Bounty,” which also includes a number of unlockable goodies. Here’s how Epic describes it:

The High Table has opened a new contract. It’s up to you to collect the bounty. Stay alive and collect gold tokens by eliminating the other bounty hunters. The first one to fulfill the order wins, but be careful how far ahead you get, as you will become a target for everyone else.

It’s not much of a surprise that Wick is in the game after his house mysteriously appeared on the island last week. But it does show that Epic is getting more serious about crossover events, following the success of modes like the Avengers: Endgame superhero battle. Meanwhile, this isn’t the only John Wick-related game news of late. The assassin is also getting his own strategy game, which is slated to launch later this year.
