Fortnite's cosmetic items are hugely popular, with players eager to sport the latest skins. Epic Games regularly rotates existing skins in the in-game store, leading to long waits for favorites. 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 fervent player demand, especially after the second season's release, Riot Games co-founder Marc Merrill offered a pessimistic outlook during a recent stream. He indicated the skins' return depends on Riot, and that the collaboration was limited to the first season. While he later expressed willingness to discuss the matter internally, he offered no guarantees.
The chances of these skins returning seem slim. While the potential revenue wouldn't harm Riot, the risk of players switching from League of Legends to Fortnite due to the skins is likely a significant concern. With League of Legends facing challenges, diverting players isn't a desirable outcome.
Therefore, while future developments are possible, it's advisable to manage expectations regarding a Jinx and Vi comeback.
