Fortnite Skips Male V: Cyberpunk 2077 Dev Explains

For a long time, Cyberpunk 2077 fans eagerly awaited the arrival of their favorite game's items in Fortnite, a platform renowned for its extensive crossovers. When the collaboration finally materialized, excitement surged. While the item set proved incredibly popular, some fans expressed disappointment over the absence of the male version of protagonist V. Speculation ran rampant, with comparisons drawn between CD Projekt Red's various marketing strategies. However, the explanation proved far simpler.

Patrick Mills, the loremaster behind Cyberpunk 2077, played a pivotal role in the final decision. Amidst the online buzz, Mills clarified his reasoning. The bundle was designed to feature only two characters, with Johnny Silverhand being a mandatory inclusion. This limitation left no room for both male and female versions of V. Given Johnny's male gender, selecting the female V seemed the logical choice, a preference further solidified by Mills' personal inclination towards that version.

Ultimately, the omission wasn't the result of any grand conspiracy, but rather a pragmatic decision. And a hearty congratulations are in order for Keanu Reeves, now boasting his second Fortnite skin, following the earlier addition of John Wick.
