Arcane skins are unlikely to return to Fortnite

by Nora Jan 07,2025

Fortnite's cosmetic items are highly sought after, with players eagerly awaiting the return of popular skins. Epic Games' rotating store model often results in lengthy wait times, as seen with the recent return of Master Chief and the eventual reappearance of older skins like Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper. However, the future of certain skins remains uncertain.

The much-requested Arcane skins featuring Jinx and Vi, for instance, face an uncertain future. Following the second season's release, player demand soared, but Riot Games co-founder Marc Merrill cast doubt on their return during a recent stream. While the decision rests with Riot, Merrill indicated the collaboration was limited to the first season. Although he expressed willingness to discuss the possibility internally, he offered no guarantees.

The chances of these skins returning seem slim. While Riot would undoubtedly profit from their re-release, allowing their intellectual property to potentially draw players away from League of Legends to Fortnite presents a significant risk. Given League of Legends' current challenges, diverting players to a competitor is undesirable.

Therefore, while future circumstances may change, it's advisable to temper expectations regarding the return of the Jinx and Vi skins.
