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

Fortnite players eagerly anticipated the arrival of Cyberpunk 2077 items, a highly anticipated crossover. While the collaboration proved popular, the absence of the male version of protagonist V sparked debate among fans. Speculation ran rampant, analyzing CD Projekt Red's marketing strategies. However, the explanation is far simpler.

Patrick Mills, Cyberpunk 2077's lore master 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. With Johnny already male, selecting the female V was a practical choice, further influenced by Mills' personal preference.

Therefore, it wasn't a calculated omission, but a matter of logistical necessity. This marks Keanu Reeves' second Fortnite skin appearance, following the earlier inclusion of John Wick.
