The Campaign to Bring Jinx and Vi Back to Fortnite

Fans of Netflix's hit animated series Arcane have taken to social media to launch a movement demanding the return of Jinx and Vi to Fortnite. The two popular League of Legends champions were initially introduced to Fortnite in 2021, as part of a cross-promotion with Arcane's first season. However, they have been absent from the game for over 1000 days, leaving fans who missed out on the opportunity to purchase their skins eager for their return.

The #BringBackArcaneToTheItemShop Movement

The fan-led campaign, dubbed #BringBackArcaneToTheItemShop, aims to catch the attention of Epic Games and Riot Games, highlighting the significant demand from Fortnite players for the Jinx and Vi skins. Despite the efforts of fans, neither Epic nor Riot has responded to the movement, leaving the fate of the skins uncertain.

Likelihood of Jinx and Vi's Return to Fortnite

While the release of Arcane Season 2 on Netflix has sparked renewed interest in the characters, it's uncertain whether they will return to the Fortnite Item Shop. History has shown that just because a franchise is experiencing a resurgence, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be reflected in Fortnite. For example, the release of Dune: Part 2 in 2024 didn't lead to the return of Dune skins to the game.

Lack of Leaked Information

Prominent Fortnite leakers have not found any indications in the game's metadata that suggest Jinx and Vi's return. This lack of evidence suggests that Riot and Epic may not have reached a deal to bring back the skins during Arcane Season 2. While the fan movement could potentially change the minds of those in charge, it appears unlikely at this time.
