CD Projekt Red Explains V Gender Absence in Fortnite Collab

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

Fortnite players eagerly awaited the arrival of Cyberpunk 2077 content, a highly anticipated crossover. While the collaboration delivered a stylish item set, the absence of the male version of protagonist V sparked fan speculation. Many theorized about CD Projekt Red's marketing strategies, but the explanation is far simpler.

Patrick Mills, Cyberpunk 2077's lore expert and the decision-maker, clarified the choice. 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 logical choice given Johnny's gender, and a personal preference of Mills.

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