Cyberpunk 2077's Fortnite Crossover: Why No Male V?
Fortnite players eagerly awaited the arrival of Cyberpunk 2077 items, a partnership that finally materialized to much fanfare. While the cosmetic set proved popular, the absence of the male version of protagonist V sparked considerable debate among fans. Speculation ran rampant, with analyses of 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 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 wasn't a deliberate decision, but a practical one. This marks Keanu Reeves' second Fortnite skin appearance, following the earlier inclusion of John Wick.
