Fortnite Mistakenly Releases Paradigm Skin, Grants Retention

Fortnite's Unexpected Paradigm Skin Return: Players Get to Keep It!

A five-year-old exclusive Fortnite skin, Paradigm, made a surprise comeback on August 6th, sending the gaming community into a whirlwind. Initially appearing in the item shop due to a reported glitch, the skin's unexpected return sparked immediate excitement.

Fortnite's initial response was to remove the skin from players' inventories and offer refunds. However, a significant player backlash prompted a swift change of heart. Within two hours, Fortnite reversed its decision via Twitter, declaring that those who purchased the Paradigm skin during its accidental reappearance 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 skin's exclusivity for its initial owners, Fortnite committed to creating a unique, new variant exclusively for them.
