Fortnite Restores Paradigm Skin, Lets Players Retain It

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

A major surprise unfolded in the Fortnite community on August 6th when the highly sought-after Paradigm skin, previously unavailable for five years, unexpectedly reappeared in the in-game item shop. This limited-time exclusive from Chapter 1 Season X had been a collector's item for years.

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 and significant player backlash prompted a change of heart.

Within two hours, Fortnite reversed course, declaring via Twitter that players who purchased the Paradigm skin during its accidental reappearance could keep it. The developers acknowledged the error, stating, "Bought Paradigm tonight? You can keep her. Her accidental return to the Shop is on us... so if you purchased The Paradigm during this evening's rotation, you can keep this Outfit and we'll refund your V-Bucks soon-ish."

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