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 the Jinx and Vi skins from Arcane. Despite significant player demand following the second season's release, Riot Games co-founder Marc Merrill cast doubt on their return. He indicated the collaboration was limited to the first season, leaving the decision in Riot's hands. While he expressed willingness to discuss the matter internally, he offered no guarantees, dampening fan enthusiasm.
The likelihood of these skins returning seems low. While the potential revenue would benefit Riot, allowing their intellectual property to potentially draw players away from League of Legends, which is currently facing challenges, presents a significant risk. The possibility of players shifting from League of Legends to Fortnite due to the skins is a considerable deterrent.
While future circumstances could change, it's advisable to temper expectations regarding the return of Jinx and Vi to Fortnite.
