Cyberpunk 2077 Fortnite Crossover: Why No Male V?

Fortnite players eagerly anticipated the arrival of Cyberpunk 2077 items, and the crossover event delivered a stylish set. However, the absence of the male version of protagonist V sparked fan speculation and theories regarding CD Projekt Red's marketing strategies. The truth, however, is much simpler.

Patrick Mills, the Cyberpunk 2077 lore lead, made the final call. He explained that 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. Opting for the female V was a practical choice, given Johnny's male gender, and a personal preference for Mills.

The decision, therefore, wasn't a deliberate exclusion but a pragmatic one. This marks Keanu Reeves' second Fortnite skin appearance, following the earlier addition of John Wick.
