Arcane skins are unlikely to return to Fortnite

Fortnite's cosmetic items are highly sought after, with players eager to showcase their favorite skins. Epic Games utilizes a rotating system for in-game skins, leading to extended wait times for certain items. While some skins, like Master Chief (after a two-year absence) and even older ones such as Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper, have eventually reappeared, the future of others remains uncertain.

The much-requested Arcane skins featuring Jinx and Vi, for example, face an uncertain future. Following the second season's release, player demand surged, only to be met with less-than-optimistic news. Riot Games co-founder Marc Merrill indicated during a stream that the collaboration was limited to the first season, leaving the skins' return dependent on Riot's decision. While Merrill later expressed willingness to discuss the possibility internally, he offered no guarantees.

The likelihood of these skins returning seems slim. While the potential revenue would be beneficial for Riot Games, the risk of diverting players from League of Legends to Fortnite through the skins is likely a significant deterrent. With League of Legends facing challenges, losing players to a competitor is undesirable.

While future circumstances might alter this outlook, it's advisable to temper expectations regarding the return of Jinx and Vi skins to Fortnite.
