Riot Confirms Arcane Skins Won’t Be Returning to Fortnite Anytime Soon
Riot Games has finally responded to the long-running wave of questions from fans wondering about the return of the Arcane skins to Fortnite. Unfortunately for those hoping to see Jinx and Vi make their way back onto the island, the news isn’t what they were hoping for.
Marc Shares More Details
Marc Merrill, Co-Founder and President of Riot Games, shared a message addressing the community’s growing anticipation around the skins, originally released during the launch of the Arcane series in 2021.
The announcement, while appreciative in tone, left fans feeling disappointed—especially those who have been vocal about wanting the skins to return. Some argued that the demand alone should be reason enough for Riot and Epic to bring them back.
One reply summed up the frustration clearly:
“Respectfully Marc, the ‘right fit’ is the massive demand for the skins and the money both parties stand to gain. Not to mention the fan support it would garner. I really hope things change.”
Even those who understood Riot’s position expressed their intention to keep pushing for the return of Jinx and Vi.
“I understand what you're saying, and I know you've said in the past about trying to find the right way to bring them back… I personally still will continue to fight for the return of these skins. I really hope things change as you said ‘If anything changes in the future, we’ll let you know ASAP!’ Appreciate you actually care for us.”
Despite the disappointment, Marc’s post clearly aimed to acknowledge the players' enthusiasm. He emphasized Riot’s appreciation for the fan support and promised transparency if the situation changes in the future.
