Cyberpunk 2077 Fortnite Crossover: Why No Male V?
Fortnite players eagerly anticipated the Cyberpunk 2077 crossover, a highly anticipated event given Fortnite's history of collaborations. While the item set proved popular, the absence of the male version of protagonist V sparked fan speculation and comparisons of CD Projekt Red's marketing strategies. The explanation, however, is far less complex.

Patrick Mills, Cyberpunk 2077 lore expert and decision-maker for the Fortnite collaboration, offered a straightforward explanation. The bundle was designed for only two characters, with Johnny Silverhand being a mandatory inclusion. This left only one remaining slot. Opting for the female version of V was a practical choice, given Johnny's gender, and a personal preference of Mills.

Ultimately, the decision was driven by practicality, not a deliberate exclusion. This marks Keanu Reeves' second Fortnite appearance, following the earlier addition of John Wick.
