Fortnite's Surprise Paradigm Skin Return: Players Get to Keep It!

A surprising event unfolded in the Fortnite community on August 6th. The highly sought-after Paradigm skin, a Chapter 1 Season X exclusive unavailable for five years, unexpectedly reappeared in the in-game item shop.

Initially, Epic Games attributed the skin's return to a technical glitch and announced plans to remove it from players' inventories and provide refunds. However, a swift change of heart followed significant player backlash.

Within two hours, Fortnite reversed its decision via a tweet, stating that players who purchased the Paradigm skin during its accidental reappearance could keep it. A refund of the V-Bucks spent would be issued shortly.

To preserve the original exclusivity for those who obtained the skin years ago, Fortnite committed to creating a unique, new variant exclusively for them.

This page will be updated with further details as they become available. Stay tuned!
