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

Fortnite players eagerly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 items, and the crossover finally arrived to much fanfare. However, the absence of the male version of protagonist V sparked online debate. Speculation ran rampant, with fans analyzing CD Projekt Red's marketing strategies. The truth, however, is far simpler.

Patrick Mills, Cyberpunk 2077's loremaster and the decision-maker, explained the omission. 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. With Johnny already male, selecting the female V was a practical choice, further influenced by Mills' personal preference.

Therefore, no grand conspiracy—just a pragmatic decision. This marks Keanu Reeves' second Fortnite skin, following the earlier inclusion of John Wick.
