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 resulting item set was well-received, the absence of the male version of protagonist V sparked debate among fans. Speculation ran rampant, with some analyzing CD Projekt Red's marketing strategies. However, the explanation is surprisingly straightforward.

Patrick Mills, the Cyberpunk 2077 lore expert responsible for the final decision, clarified the situation. The bundle was designed for only two characters, one of which had to be Johnny Silverhand. This left no space for both male and female versions of V. Given Johnny's male gender, selecting the female V was a logical choice, further influenced by Mills' personal preference.

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