Fortnite Accidentally Re-Releases Paradigm Skin
Players Get to Keep the Legendary Loot
On August 6th, Fortnite players were stunned to find the highly sought-after Paradigm skin unexpectedly back in the item shop. This skin, a limited-time exclusive from Chapter 1 Season X, hadn't been available for purchase in five long years.
Fortnite initially attributed the skin's reappearance to a technical glitch, announcing plans to remove it from players' Lockers and provide refunds. However, a swift and significant community backlash prompted a surprising change of heart.
Just two hours after the initial announcement, Fortnite tweeted a reversal: players who purchased the Paradigm skin during this accidental return could keep it. The tweet stated, "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 exclusivity for original owners, Fortnite promised to create a unique, new variant exclusively for those who originally purchased the skin during its initial release.
