Fortnite Accidentally Re-Releases Paradigm Skin

Players Can Keep the Loot

Fortnite enthusiasts were thrown into a whirlwind of excitement on August 6 when the much-sought-after Paradigm skin made an unexpected comeback in the game's item shop. This skin, which was initially launched as a limited-time exclusive during Chapter 1 Season X, had been out of reach for players for half a decade.

The developers at Fortnite were quick to acknowledge that the skin's reappearance was the result of a "bug" and initially planned to remove it from players' Lockers while offering refunds. However, the community's strong reaction prompted a swift change of heart.

Just two hours after their first announcement, Fortnite took to Twitter to declare that players who had purchased the Paradigm skin during its brief return could keep it. "Bought Paradigm tonight? You can keep her," they tweeted. "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 honor the exclusivity of the original owners, Fortnite committed to designing a unique, new variant of the skin exclusively for them.
