Tick tock Mr. Wick. The John Wick collaboration will return to Fortnite with additional skins during Winterfest 2023
After what has seemed like an eternity, the John Wick collaboration is finally returning to Fortnite. Fans had hoped the character would return to the item store to coincide with the release of his fourth (and final?) outing back in March. But sadly, his triumphant return failed to materialize. As a result, Keanu Reeves’s beloved Baba Yaga hasn’t been seen in the item store for over 900 days. But now, thanks to the new Winterfest season, all that is about to change.
During the latest update, the John Wick collaboration was added to the item shop rotation. What’s more, Fortnite’s affiliates were gifted their first look at an all-new skin from the fourth movie featuring his new look hairstyle.
THE BABA YAGA RETURNS
The new skin boasts John’s long hair from the fourth movie. As well as his customary black bulletproof black suit, shirt, and tie. And if that isn’t enough, the set will now include Shimazu Koji’s katana blade from the fourth film designed to give players the ultimate John Wick experience. The set still includes his sledgehammer from the first movie, as well as his gun bag back bling. Plus, his standard gun wrap is still included. But with the updates included from Parabellum and Chapter 4, the set just got a major upgrade.
Sadly, although the shop tab has been reactivated, there has been no confirmation whether Halle Berry’s Sophia will be making a return. Sophia featured prominently during the third movie. But historically, she has been available to buy far less readily than Keanu Reeves’ Baby Yaga. So fans will be hoping for another chance to add her to their collection.
RELEASE
Although the set has been added to the rotation, there is still no definite date for it to return. Wick is listed under the Winterfest bracket and WILL feature at some point throughout the festive season. But when that date will be remains a mystery – although the smart money is on December 23rd. Whether or not it comes to fruition remains to be seen. Until then, fans can rest easy knowing that they can add John Wick to their collection within the next fortnight. And that alone is an early Christmas present.
Rest assured, as soon as we hear more from Epic Games about his official release date, we’ll update the post with all the juicy details. Be sure to hit that subscribe button at the top of the homepage and get the latest Fortnite news and reviews delivered straight into your inbox!
