Fortnite Welcomes Tesla Cybertruck in Latest Crossover Event
Epic Games’ Fortnite continues its trend of crossover events, introducing new characters and items across its Battle Royale, Lego, and Festival game modes with regularity. The popular online game has incorporated a vast array of pop culture icons, from fictional personalities like Captain Jack Sparrow to real-world figures such as Ariana Grande. Now, expanding beyond character-based collaborations, Fortnite is adding a new vehicle to its digital garage: the Tesla Cybertruck.
Futuristic Design Meets Virtual World
The Cybertruck, Tesla’s recently released electric pickup, is known for its unconventional, angular design and stainless steel exterior. Its distinctively futuristic aesthetic has long prompted comparisons to vehicles from science fiction and video games. The unique “cyber” element in its name further reinforces this perception, making it a seemingly natural fit for a virtual environment like Fortnite.
Cybertruck Integration in Fortnite Remains Unclear
Details regarding the Cybertruck’s exact implementation within Fortnite are currently unconfirmed. The announcement trailer provided no gameplay footage, leading to speculation about its role. It is anticipated that the vehicle will be offered as a purchasable vehicle skin in the in-game Item Shop. Typically, applying a vehicle skin in Fortnite transforms any standard in-game car into the chosen design, applicable in both Battle Royale and Rocket Racing modes. However, alternative integration methods, such as a limited-time event featuring the Cybertruck, are also possible.
Anticipated Release and In-Game Usage
Players can expect the Tesla Cybertruck to become available in Fortnite starting tomorrow. While cruising in this polygonal pickup, players might want to be wary of opponents wielding the Mythic EMP Stealth Camo, for strategic advantage in combat encounters.
