Unveiled: Reasons for Absence of Male V in Fortnite by Cyberpunk 2077 Devs

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

Fortnite players eagerly awaited the arrival of Cyberpunk 2077 items, a highly anticipated crossover. While the collaboration was well-received, the absence of the male version of protagonist V sparked fan speculation and theories about CD Projekt Red's marketing. The truth, however, is far simpler.

Patrick Mills, the Cyberpunk 2077 lore expert, made the final call. He cited two key reasons: the bundle's design limited it to two characters, one of which had to be Johnny Silverhand. This left no space for both male and female versions of V. With Johnny being male, selecting the female V was a practical choice, further influenced by Mills' personal preference.

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