Fortnite Skins: The Arcane Absence
Fortnite is known for its extensive skin collection, allowing players to step into battle as characters like Snoop Dogg, Anakin Skywalker, or Gojo from Jujutsu-Kaisen.
Despite this massive variety, many fans feel the absence of the Arcane skins, which have been unavailable since 2022.

The campaign has gained significant traction, particularly on X, where fans are using the hashtag to pressure Epic Games into re-releasing the sought-after cosmetics.One frustrated fan shared: "3 years ago I didn’t know what Arcane was. After watching it 2 years ago, I started waiting for Arcane skins to come back. I’m still waiting…"

Looking Back: The Arcane Collaboration in Fortnite
Jinx and Vi first appeared in Fortnite in 2021 as part of a promotional event for Arcane. The collaboration was a hit with players, but the skins were removed from the shop in 2022. Since then, fans have continued to hope for their return.
With other Riot Games titles like League of Legends and Valorant already featuring exclusive content for Arcane Season 2, Fortnite players are optimistic that Epic Games might follow suit.
So far, however, there has been no official word from Epic Games about whether Jinx and Vi will reappear in the item shop. Stay tuned for updates!
