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

Fortnite players eagerly anticipated the arrival of Cyberpunk 2077 items, a highly anticipated crossover event. While the collaboration delivered a stylish item set, the absence of the male version of protagonist V sparked fan speculation. Many theorized about CD Projekt Red's marketing strategies, but the explanation is far simpler.

Patrick Mills, Cyberpunk 2077's lore lead, made the final call. He cites two key reasons: the bundle's two-character limit, with one slot reserved for Johnny Silverhand, and a personal preference for the female V. With Johnny already a male character, including the female V was a practical solution.

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