Riot Games Co-Founder Shares Update on Hopes for Fortnite's Arcane Skins

Marc Merrill reveals the likelihood of Arcane character skins returning to Fortnite soon and discusses new developments in the gaming community.

Summary

  • It seems Jinx and Vi from Arcane are not set to return to Fortnite in the near future.
  • Epic Games is teasing major announcements for Fortnite as the community anticipates what’s next after Chapter 6 Season 2.
  • Fans showed concern regarding the pricing of the recent Adventure Time cosmetics in Fortnite.

Marc Merrill, co-founder of Riot Games, disclosed that the beloved skins of Jinx and Vi, characters from the hit series Arcane, are unlikely to return to Fortnite soon. As Chapter 6 Season 2 concludes, the gaming community is eager for updates.

Epic Games has hinted at a forthcoming Fortnite announcement that coincides with the Star Wars Celebration Japan, stirring up excitement regarding potential future developments. Rumors suggest that Chapter 6 Season 3 may be a brief mini-season lasting only through May. Players won’t have to wait long to discover if these rumors hold any truth.

In a recent Twitter update, Marc Merrill indicated that Fortnite players probably won’t see the Arcane skins resurface shortly, highlighting that both companies have struggled to find the right collaboration agreement since their last partnership.

Feedback from the Community

Many players speculated that the launch of Arcane Season 2 would be an ideal moment for the return of the skins, especially considering the routine reappearance of crossover skins like John Wick. However, some players suggested that the two companies might have faced disagreements over financial terms, though Merrill did not provide specific reasons.

While Epic Games is managing various collaborations, not all have garnered positive feedback—fans enjoyed the Adventure Time skins but were disappointed by their cost, as players had to purchase items individually instead of in bundles, leading to higher overall expenses. Despite these minor setbacks, optimism remains high for the future of Fortnite.
