Fortnite x The Witcher: Leaks suggest the addition of new Ciri skin in the game
Fortnite is one of those games which never loses their spark even after years. It is because they constantly release new content for its players which keeps the game fun and interesting for them. Collaborations are also a very big part of Fortnite and are also one of the biggest reasons why players stay hooked to the game. Now another collaboration might be announced by Fortnite and this time it’s none other than The Witcher. Recent leaks have revealed that a new fan-favorite character, Ciri, might be added to the game during Fortnite and The Witcher collaboration.
New Ciri skin could be introduced with Fortnite x The Witcher collaboration
A lot of skins of famous characters are made available in Fortnite, such as Anakin Skywalker till the latest collaboration with the Transformers franchise which revealed the Optimus Prime skin. A popular data miner of Fortnite named ShiinaBR revealed on Twitter that a new skin for Ciri might soon be available on the item shop of the game. The claim is made because they have seen that a Player Icon had been added with her face in the latest update and it is part of an encrypted set.
Ciri from The Witcher 3 will most likely be in the Item Shop very soon!! 🔥
A Player Icon with her face was added in today's update, and the icon is part of an encrypted set!

The details about how players can obtain this skin or when it will be released are unknown as of now as Epic Games have made no official announcement about the skin. Though we can guess that it might be released around the time when the third season of The Witcher series starts streaming on Netflix, which is on June 29, 2023.
This won’t be the first collaboration with The Witcher series for Fortnite
Fortnite has already once collaborated with The Witcher series which has seen a huge increase in popularity in the last few years which makes sense why the developers want to cash in on its popularity. The Geralt of Rivia skin was made available in the game in February as a part of the Season 1 Battle Pass. Players would need to finish five quests in order to get their hands on the skin. Each quest rewarded the players with a cosmetic item associated with the character till they reached the end of the quest and got the skin as a whole.
So one can assume that players will need to do similar bidding to acquire the new skin of Ciri too as both of them belong to the same franchise and are in collaboration with the same game too. This is the second time a character from The Witcher series might be coming into Fortnite in the same year if the leaks turn out to be true. This means that fans of the franchise can expect even more characters from the show to be introduced into the game in the future.
