Fortnite accidentally re-released the exclusive Paradigm skin after a five-year absence, causing excitement and then a surprising turn of events.
A Surprise Return and a Quick Reversal
On August 6th, the highly sought-after Paradigm skin unexpectedly reappeared in the Fortnite item shop. Originally a limited-time offering from Chapter 1 Season X, its return after five years sent the player base into a frenzy.
Fortnite initially attributed the skin's reappearance to a technical error and planned to remove it from players' inventories and provide refunds. However, significant player backlash led to a change of heart.
Within two hours, Fortnite announced a reversal: players who purchased the Paradigm skin during this accidental re-release could keep it. The developers acknowledged the error, stating that refunds would be issued. To preserve the original exclusivity, they promised a unique, new variant for those who originally owned the skin.
