Cyberpunk 2077 Fortnite Crossover: Why No Male V?

Fortnite players eagerly awaited the Cyberpunk 2077 crossover, a highly anticipated event given Fortnite's history of collaborations. While the item set proved popular, the absence of the male version of protagonist V sparked fan speculation and debate regarding CD Projekt Red's marketing strategies. The explanation, however, is far less complex.

Patrick Mills, the Cyberpunk 2077 lore expert and decision-maker, clarified the situation. The bundle was designed for only two characters, with Johnny Silverhand being a mandatory inclusion. This left only one slot, leading to the selection of the female version of V. Mills also admitted a personal preference for the female V.

Therefore, the omission of male V was a matter of practical constraints, not a deliberate decision. This marks Keanu Reeves' second Fortnite skin appearance, following the earlier addition of John Wick.
