Fortnite's cosmetic items are highly sought after, with players eagerly anticipating the return of popular skins to the in-game store. Epic Games' rotation system, while providing variety, often results in lengthy wait times. While some skins, like Master Chief (after a two-year absence), eventually reappear, others remain elusive.
The much-requested Jinx and Vi skins from Arcane, however, face an uncertain future. Despite fervent fan demand following the second season's release, Riot Games co-founder Marc Merrill cast doubt on their return during a recent stream. He explained that the collaboration was limited to the first season and that the decision rests with Riot. While he expressed willingness to discuss the matter internally, he offered no guarantees.
The likelihood of these skins' return seems slim. While the potential revenue would benefit Riot, the risk of players migrating from League of Legends to Fortnite due to the skins is likely a significant concern, especially given League of Legends' current challenges.
Therefore, managing expectations is advisable. While future circumstances might change, hoping for a return of Jinx and Vi skins may prove disappointing for now.
