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 waits. While some skins, like Master Chief (after a two-year absence), eventually reappear, others remain elusive.
This is particularly true for fans of Arcane, who have expressed immense desire for the return of Jinx and Vi skins. Following the second season's release, this demand intensified, only to be met with less-than-optimistic news.
Riot Games co-founder, Marc Merrill, indicated during a stream that the skins' return hinges on Riot's decision, and the initial collaboration was solely for the first season. Although he later suggested he'd advocate for their return, no guarantees were offered.
The likelihood of Jinx and Vi's return remains low. While the potential revenue is undeniable, Riot might be hesitant due to concerns about diverting players from League of Legends, which is currently facing challenges. The possibility of players switching games solely for these skins poses a risk.
While future developments could change this outlook, managing expectations is currently advisable.
