CD Projekt Red Explains Absence of Male V in Fortnite

by Alexis Apr 19,2025

For a long time, fans of Cyberpunk 2077 eagerly awaited the integration of items from the acclaimed game into Fortnite, a platform renowned for its diverse crossovers. When the collaboration finally materialized, excitement rippled through the fanbase. The item set turned out to be impressive, but some fans expressed disappointment over the absence of the male version of the protagonist, V. Speculation ran rampant, with fans drawing comparisons to various marketing strategies employed by CD Projekt Red in recent years. However, the truth behind the decision was straightforward.

Patrick Mills, the individual responsible for the Cyberpunk 2077 lore, was also the one who made the final call. Amid the swirling rumors, Mills decided to set the record straight. His decision was influenced by two key factors: firstly, the bundle format was designed to include only two characters, one of which had to be Johnny Silverhand. This left no room for two versions of V. Given that Johnny is male, selecting the female version of V was a logical choice, and Mills personally leaned slightly more towards that version.

So, it wasn't a conspiracy but rather a pragmatic decision. We extend our congratulations to Keanu Reeves on his second Fortnite skin; previously, Epic Games had introduced John Wick to the game.
