Fortnite Geralt release date and when The Witcher items are coming to Fortnite
While there has been no official confirmation from Epic social channels that Geralt of Rivia is coming to Fortnite, we do have some information listed in the Battle Pass that points to a date.
There is an in-game timer for Geralt’s page (60 days left at time of writing) which sets its release date Tuesday, February 7, 2023. That seems about right, considering skins often release a few months after a new season launches.
This was the case with the recent The Herald skin which launched a few months after Chapter 3 Season 4.
Fortnite Chapter 4 Chapter 1 has arrived, with a new system of augmentations, the upcoming arrival of Geralt and the Ageless Champion to beat! Meanwhile, learn how to get XP fast, earn the Victory Umbrella, find character slots, and earn a Victory Crown.
How will Geralt be unlocked in Fortnite?
We don’t yet know how Geralt will be unlocked in Fortnite, but we can look at how previous characters like Indiana Jones were unlocked to make a good guess. Like Indy, it’s likely that Geralt will have a set of challenges associated with him. Completing these challenges will grant The Witcher-themed rewards, and then possibly the Geralt skin. For now, this is just speculation, but we’ll be sure to update this page once we receive confirmation.
Fortnite The Witcher Item List
For now, only one page of The Witcher items can be seen in Fortnite. You can’t unlock them yet, but here’s what’s on offer once Geralt launches in February:
- Geralt of Rivia Loading Screen (Art by Will Kirkby)
- Back Bling Witcher Weapons
- Muscle memory spray
- move fire sign
- Witcher steel sword harvesting tool
- Geralt of Rivia Outfit
As mentioned, there are two pages of The Witcher items to earn in Fortnite. For now, the second page is completely hidden. We’ll have to wait until launch to see what’s added alongside Geralt.
So there you have it, everything you need to know about Geralt’s arrival in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1. If anything changes regarding the release date, this page will be updated.
