Fortnite reverses its controversial decision about one of the skins

Master Chief, the iconic protagonist of the Halo series, has become a beloved skin in Fortnite, much to the delight of fans. The excitement was palpable when the skin made its return to the Fortnite shop after an absence of over two years. However, the celebration was marred by a small but significant issue.

When Master Chief was first introduced to Fortnite, players on Xbox Series S|X were treated to a special Matte Black style. Initially, it was promised that this style could be unlocked at any time by playing on these consoles. Thus, the sudden announcement of its discontinuation was met with considerable backlash from the community.

Some fans even believed that this move might breach certain laws and regulations, prompting discussions about initiating a class action lawsuit. Fortunately, Epic Games responded swiftly to the outcry. Just one day later, they reversed their decision, ensuring that the Matte Black style would remain available to all Master Chief skin owners who play at least one game on an Xbox Series S|X.

This reversal has been widely regarded as the best possible outcome, especially given the timing. With many players celebrating Christmas and enjoying the holiday season, it would have been unwise to dampen the festive spirit with such a decision. The community's joy at the return of Master Chief, now complete with the Matte Black style, has certainly helped to keep the holiday cheer alive.
