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 been clamoring for the return of Jinx and Vi skins since the first season. Following the second season's release, this demand intensified. However, Riot Games co-founder Marc Merrill recently dampened hopes during a livestream.
Merrill indicated that the skins' return hinges on Riot's decision, stating the collaboration was limited to the first season. While he later expressed willingness to discuss the matter internally, he offered no guarantees, leaving many disappointed.
The likelihood of these skins' return seems low. While the potential revenue is undeniable, Riot may be hesitant to promote player migration from League of Legends to Fortnite. With League of Legends facing challenges, diverting players could prove detrimental.
Therefore, while future developments are possible, it's advisable to manage expectations regarding a Jinx and Vi comeback.
