Fortnite enthusiasts were buzzing with excitement on August 6 when the much-sought-after Paradigm skin made a surprise comeback in the game's item shop. Originally a limited-time exclusive from Chapter 1 Season X, this skin hadn't been available for purchase in five long years. The sudden reappearance of the Paradigm skin sent waves of excitement through the Fortnite community.
Fortnite's developers quickly stepped in to clarify that the skin's return was the result of a "bug." They initially planned to remove the skin from players' Lockers and offer refunds. However, the backlash from the community prompted a swift change of heart. Just two hours after the first announcement, Fortnite took to Twitter to make an unexpected U-turn. "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 those who originally purchased the skin and maintain its exclusivity, Fortnite committed to creating a unique, new variant exclusively for the original owners. This move ensures that the initial allure and rarity of the Paradigm skin remain intact for its first buyers.
