Fortnite's accidental five-year revival of the exclusive Paradigm skin sent shockwaves through the gaming community on August 6th. The highly sought-after skin, originally a limited-time offering from Chapter 1 Season X, unexpectedly reappeared in the in-game item shop.
Initially, Epic Games attributed the skin's return to a technical glitch, intending to remove it from players' inventories and provide refunds. However, a swift and significant player backlash led to a remarkable change of heart.
Within two hours, Fortnite announced a reversal, declaring that players who purchased the Paradigm skin during this accidental re-release could keep it. The developers accepted responsibility for the error, promising a swift V-Buck refund to those affected. To preserve the original exclusivity, a unique, new Paradigm variant will be created for those who originally owned the skin.
This unexpected turn of events highlights the power of community feedback and provides a surprising bonus for many Fortnite players. We will continue to update this article as further details emerge.
