Cyberpunk 2077 Dev Explains Absence of Male V in Fortnite

For an extended period, enthusiasts of Cyberpunk 2077 eagerly anticipated the integration of items from this acclaimed game into Fortnite, a platform renowned for its extensive range of crossovers. When the collaboration finally materialized, it sparked excitement among the majority of fans. The item set introduced was undeniably impressive, yet some fans expressed disappointment over the absence of the male version of the protagonist, V. This led to widespread speculation and comparisons with various marketing strategies employed by CD Projekt Red in recent years. However, the true reason behind this decision was far more straightforward.

Patrick Mills, the individual tasked with overseeing the lore of Cyberpunk 2077, also had the final say in this matter. Amidst the swirling rumors, Mills took the opportunity to clarify his decision. His choice was influenced by two key factors: the bundle was designed to feature only two characters, one of which had to be Johnny Silverhand. Consequently, there was no space for both versions of V. Given that Johnny is a male character, opting for the female version of V was a logical choice, and Mills also admitted to having a slight preference for this version.

Thus, the decision was not the result of any elaborate scheme but rather a pragmatic approach to the constraints of the bundle format. We extend our congratulations to Keanu Reeves on securing his second Fortnite skin; previously, Epic Games had introduced John Wick to the game.
