Keanu Reeves is making his way to the island of fortnite after Epic Games team decided to create an official character based on the actor. The new skin which is called ” Fortnite guy ” is the actual John Wick character and the the resemblance is extraordinary! It looks a lot more like Keanu Reeves than the previous skin.
Epic Games creative director Donald Mustard revealed that the new John Wick Skin in Fortnite was created after a conversation with Reeves about a character called “The Reaper”.
Mr Mustard said:
“I happened to end up in a spot where Keanu and I were together, talking about some stuff, and we were like, ‘What if this kinda made sense?’ And [Reeves] was into it, especially because we have this character in Fortnite called The Reaper which kind of – it wasn’t intentional – [resembles him],”
“But [Reeves] was starting to have all these kids come up to him, all these teenagers on the street, and they weren’t doing the normal, ‘Oh you’re Neo, oh you’re Wick,’ – they were doing, ‘Fortnite guy! Fortnite guy!’ “
Initially Keanu Reeves was unaware of Fortnite. According to Donald Mustard:
[Reeves] was like ‘What is this Fortnite thing?’ And then of course he’s like, ‘That doesn’t look like me, that’s not me,’ and he’s like, ‘We gotta do it right?'”It just felt inevitable and made a lot of sense that we would do something together.”

John Wick skin can be bought with an assorted gear. There’s also a new mode called “Wick’s Bounty,” which also includes a number of unlockable goodies. There is a limited time to get this mode. As Epic Games claim:
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.
After the great success of Avengers: Endgame modes the Epic team starts to be more serious about crossover events.
