Epic Drops Paradigm Skin In Fortnite Snafu, Allows Keeps

Fortnite's Surprise Paradigm Skin Return: Players Get to Keep the Legendary Outfit!

The Fortnite community experienced a whirlwind of excitement and surprise on August 6th when the highly sought-after Paradigm skin unexpectedly reappeared in the in-game item shop. This limited-time exclusive skin, originally released five years ago in Chapter 1 Season X, had been unavailable for purchase until this accidental return.

Initially, Epic Games attributed the skin's reappearance to a technical glitch and announced plans to remove it from players' inventories and provide refunds. However, a significant player backlash prompted a swift and unexpected change of heart.

Within two hours of the initial announcement, Fortnite reversed course, tweeting that players who purchased the Paradigm skin during this brief period 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 obtained the skin during its initial release, Fortnite promised to create a unique, new variant exclusively for them.
