For Fortnite players, here is an unexpected crossover from Epic: A crossover no one actually expected but secretly wanted to come true. That legendary K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider has officially gone into the Fortnite Item Shop with all those retro vibes intact.
Hey, what’s the deal? Perhaps you’ve held that idea in your mind of cruising around an island in the sleek black Trans Am from the 80s that could actually talk. Well, consider yourselves lucky today-the car is indeed in the game with the iconic red scanner light moving across the front. And Epic has very politely clarified that it does not include an “Indestructible coating, self-driving capabilities, and autonomous crime-fighting tech.” Oh, classic.
Let’s just lay it down here. This is no ordinary car skin. It’s K.I.T.T.: the AI chariot that shaped an entire generation of TV audiences. Those were for the nostalgic moments of watching David Hasselhoff and his hi-tech wheels beat all the baddies. Fortnite? Well, it just cannot have been made for a perfect stage for this. Think about it: gripping in the middle of a squad fight in that beauty and ripping down builds like it’s 1984 again.
Here’s the real kicker: K.I.T.T. may not be able to talk to you (RIP hopes of hearing “Michael, we have a problem” mid-match), but it’s undeniably one of the coolest vehicle skins Epic has pulled out of the hat in a very long time. And with all the bonkers crossovers fame Fortnite has had-MCU, Star Wars, hell, even Family Guy-this has to feel right.
Because really, the question now should be: Is there a built-in turbo boost? How about stealth modes? Probably not, but hey, a fan can wish. Better still, round up all Knight Rider fans or just crazy collectors because this one’s worthy of a snag-before it drives right out of the Shop.
And hey, it’s not just some random drop. Fortnite has been going crazy with pop culture mash-ups recently, and assembling K.I.T.T. feels like the latest big win. Whether the lure is memes, nostalgia, or just another ridiculous flex for your locker, this is one you need to own.
If V-Bucks are in your pockets right now, head to the Shop. Because really, nothing says, “I’m here to win” than rolling in a car that, for all intents and purposes, is a time machine for 80s kids. Just don’t expect it to go fight crime. That’s on you.
Also, one more thing- if Epic doesn’t drop a David Hasselhoff skin to go with it, the community goes on riot. Just saying!
In the meantime, best cruising wishes to you. May your scanner lights never go out. Or whatever that would mean from K.I.T.T. Wait, do they even talk in-game? Ugh. Now I’m sad. Still cool though.
