Summary
- Riot's co-founder has provided an update on the ongoing absence of Fortnite's Arcane skins.
- After a back-and-forth with Epic, they have confirmed Vi and Jinx's skins will not be returning.
- The door hasn't been closed for good, but for the foreseeable future, the Arcane characters won't be back in the Fortnite item shop.
Vi and Jinx were added to Fortnite more than three years ago alongside the release of Arcane season one. The skins left the Item Shop shortly after that and haven't bee♛n seen since. There was a hope they might be back following the success of the show's second, and final, season, but those hopes now appear to have been dashed.
Four months on from Riot committing to doing all it can to f❀igure something out with Epic Games, the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:League of Legends studio's co-founder has returned with an update, and it's bad news. "We’ve had a lot𒊎 of conversations with Epic about what might be possible... but we haven’t been able to find the right fit to bring the Arcane skins back and it unfortunately won’t be happening in the foreseeable future," revealed on Twitter.
No, Henry From Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Isn't Coming To Fortnite
We really wanted to have Henry hit the floss.
"We really appreciate how much you all care and how much effort you’ve put into advocating for their return. If anything changes in the future, we’ll let you know." Merrill didn't explain why exactly there can't be, and possibly never will be, another Fortnite x Arcane collab in the future. However, they did note that "Fortnite has evolved a ton with new experien﷽ces and collabs" since the Jinx and Vi skins were last available via its Item Shop in 2022.
Vi And Jinx Aren't Coming Back To Fortnite
Not A Very Long Time, Maybe Ever
This saga began at the end of 2024 when Riot claimed it was on them that Vi and Jinx's Fortnite skins hadn't been av🌞ailable to buy in the game for over 1,000 days. Arcane fans likely thought they'd be back to coincide with season two, or at the very least more characters from the League of Legends anime spinoff would get their own skins.
The response to the reveal that Riot was to blame prompted its bosses to get in touch with Epic to try and make something happen. Four months later, the result is that it's not possible, and it's not entirely clear why. The door isn't closed for good, but for now, Vi and Jinx's skins will 🐲remain some of the rarest in the game. If you've been playing long enough that you hav𝄹e them, you can flaunt them knowing you'll be getting under the skin of Arcane fans who can't have them.
If the Vi and Jinx skins had been tied to a battle pass, then their potentially eternal absence would make more sense. Older skins that were previously only available via an old battle pass, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:like the original Lara Croft skins, can't really be brought back as charging for them might annoy those who worked to unlo𒁏ck them. Epic has confirmed battle pass items from chapteඣr five, season four onwards might be added to the item shop, but the Arcane skins were battle pass rewards before that cutoff.
