Tick tock Mr. Wick. The John Wick collaboration has returned to Fortnite with additional skins for Winterfest 2023
After what has seemed like an eternity, the John Wick collaboration has FINALLY returned 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 exactly 1000 days. But now, thanks to the new Winterfest season, all that has changed.
Last night, at the stroke of midnight, the John Wick collaboration returned to the item shop rotation. What’s more, the set now boasts an all-new skin from the fourth movie featuring his new look hairstyle. And if that isn’t enough to have you making a reservation at The Continental, the skin now boasts John’s severed finger!
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 black and silver 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 rotated back in for purchase, 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. But as of press time, she has not returned to the item store.
RELEASE
The new and improved JOHN WICK bundle is available to purchase in the item shop RIGHT NOW. The set will set you back a cool 2,400 V-Bucks for all 4 skins, his back bling, two pick axe’s, and his gun wrap. Additionally, three emotes are available to purchase. The first is John’s iconic patting of the suit where bullets drops from within. The second emote has Wick lighting a candle for his fallen wife. And lastly, the “Being Seeing You” sign language emote from Chapter 2 rounds out the set.
Sadly, as mentioned above, Sophia did not return to the store for purchase. However, fans can now hope that Wick’s return will usher in a new period of regular rotation where, hopefully, Sophia will return soon. Until then, fans can rest easy knowing that they can finally add John Wick to their collection. And that alone is an early Christmas present.
Rest assured, as soon as we hear more from Epic Games about Sophia’s return, 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!
