Fortnite Re-Releases Paradigm Skin By Accident, Lets Players Keep It Anyways

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

A significant Fortnite glitch unexpectedly returned the highly sought-after Paradigm skin to the in-game item shop on August 6th, five years after its initial limited-time release. This caused quite a stir among players.

Initially, Epic Games, Fortnite's developer, attributed the skin's reappearance to a technical error and planned to remove it from player inventories, offering refunds. However, a significant player backlash prompted a swift change of heart.

Within two hours of the initial announcement, Epic Games reversed course, tweeting that players who purchased the Paradigm skin during the accidental re-release could keep it. They stated the accidental shop appearance was their responsibility and promised to refund the V-Bucks spent on the skin shortly.

To preserve the original exclusivity for those who obtained the Paradigm skin during its first release, Epic Games committed to creating a unique, new variant exclusively for them.

This unexpected turn of events has delighted many Fortnite players. We'll continue to update this article as more details emerge. Stay tuned!
