When it comes to iconic gaming villains, Adam Smasher deserves a mention. As the tormentor and ultimate murderer of Johnny Silverhand, we all remember our first meeting with the cyborg mercenary in the early hours of Cyberpunk 2077, and we all remember the feeling of satisfaction when we could finally go head-to-head with the cybernetic villain.
Also appearing in Netflix's Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Adam Smasher has become a key antagonist of the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, which means it comes as no surprise that he will now appear on the ever-growing roster of one hit battle royale game.
Yes, that is right, at long last, Adam Smasher has been added to the Fortnite roster and is now a playable character and available in the Item Shop after yesterday's refresh. His arrival was teased back in March, but it seems as though Fortnite players will now be able to inhabit the body (or at least the skin) of Adam Smasher as they torment the likes of Homer Simpson, Darth Vader, John Wick, and more.
The news dropped yesterday courtesy of an official Twitter/X post by Cyberpunk 2077's account. It read: No sense in prolonging the inevitable… Adam Smasher, the boogeyman...
