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 array of crossovers. When the collaboration finally materialized, it sparked excitement among the majority of fans.
The resulting item set was impressively designed, yet some fans expressed disappointment over the absence of the male version of the protagonist, V. Speculations arose, with fans drawing comparisons to 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 responsible for the lore of Cyberpunk 2077, was the one who made the final call on this matter. Amidst the widespread discussion, Mills took the opportunity to clarify his decision-making process. There were two key factors influencing his choice: firstly, the bundle format was designed to feature only two characters, with one of them being Johnny Silverhand. This left no space for both versions of V. Given that Johnny Silverhand is male, opting for the female version of V was seen as a logical choice. Additionally, Mills admitted to having a slight personal preference for the female V.

Thus, the exclusion of male V was not the result of a conspiracy but rather a pragmatic decision. We extend our congratulations to Keanu Reeves for his second Fortnite skin; previously, Epic Games had introduced John Wick to the game.
