Cyberpunk 2077's Fortnite Debut: Why No Male V?

Fortnite players eagerly awaited the arrival of Cyberpunk 2077 items, a highly anticipated crossover. While the collaboration was met with excitement, the absence of the male version of protagonist V sparked debate among fans. Speculation ran rampant, with theories involving CD Projekt Red's marketing strategies. However, the explanation is far simpler.

Patrick Mills, Cyberpunk 2077's lore lead and the decision-maker, clarified the reasons. The bundle's design limited it to two characters, one of which had to be Johnny Silverhand. This left no space for both male and female versions of V. Choosing the female V was a practical solution, given Johnny's male gender, and aligned with Mills' personal preference.

Therefore, no grand conspiracy—simply a pragmatic choice. This marks Keanu Reeves' second Fortnite skin appearance, following the earlier addition of John Wick.
