Summary:
- Reliable leaks in the Fortnite community have revealed the rare Arcane Jinx and Vi skins might return to the game.
- The Arcane skins, first released in 2021, have been out of the Item Shop for almost four years before their expected comeback in Fortnite Chapter 7.
- If the leaks are true, players will be able to buy the Jinx and Vi bundles in their original versions with the same inclusions and price.
The long wait may finally be over. If you’ve also been waiting for the Fortnite Arcane skins to return, then you’ll be very happy with the new leaks. If they are true, Arcane Vi and Jinx are set to return in Fortnite Chapter 7 after nearly four years. Here’s everything known so far about this rumored return.
A Long-Awaited Return in Chapter 7
Reliable Fortnite leakers, including HYPEX, say that the Arcane skins fans have been waiting for are finally coming back. This means both Jinx and Vi should return to the Item Shop during Chapter 7 Season 1.
These skins originally came out in 2021 when Arcane Season 1 was released on Netflix. Jinx and Vi are the stars of the show, and they were already well-loved champions in League of Legends. Because of that, their skins became very popular right away and are now considered some of the rarest Gaming Legends items in Fortnite. They haven’t been in the Item Shop since February 2022 — over 1,380 days ago — which is why so many players are excited for their return.
Since Chapter 7 begins right after the Zero Hour event, players can look forward to seeing Jinx and Vi return sometime early in the new season.
Why the Arcane Skins Are So Rare
The Arcane skins that Fortnite players love haven’t come back for a long time because Riot Games and Epic Games had issues with licensing. Earlier this year, Riot co-founder Marc Merrill even said that both companies had trouble finding the “right fit” to make the return happen.
Now, something seems to have finally changed. Reliable leakers keep sharing updates, and the Fortnite community is getting excited again. If you missed these skins the first time they came out, this might be your best — and possibly your last — chance to get them.
What’s Included in the Jinx and Vi Bundles
If the leaks are true, the Jinx and Vi bundles should return with all the same items they originally had.
Jinx Bundle includes:
- Arcane Jinx skin
- Dream Monkey back bling
- Pow Pow Crusher pickaxe
- Playground lobby music
- Two loading screens
- Jinxed spray
Vi Bundle includes:
- Arcane Vi skin
- Memories of Zaun back bling
- Piltover Warden Hammer pickaxe
- Punching Practice emote
- Piltover’s Finest loading screen
Both bundles originally cost between 1,500 and 1,800 V-Bucks, and the prices will likely stay about the same when they return.
More Arcane Content in Fortnite?
Some earlier leaks claimed that more Arcane characters—like Mel—might also come to Fortnite, but new reports say that probably won’t happen. Right now, the only confirmed leaks are about Jinx and Vi returning.
Even so, Fortnite is clearly doing more collaborations with music and entertainment. For example, BLACKPINK’s Lisa will be the main star of Fortnite Festival Season 12, and the popular song “Enemy” by Imagine Dragons and JID will be added as a Jam Track. Since Fortnite is adding more crossovers like these, bringing back Jinx and Vi fits perfectly with the game’s growing list of partnerships.
Conclusion
The Arcane skins Fortnite players love have been gone for so long that many thought they would never return. But new leaks now claim they might come back in Chapter 7, which has excited a lot of fans. Nothing is confirmed yet, but the leaks seem believable enough that players are already saving their V-Bucks. If you’ve been waiting for Jinx or Vi since 2021, this could finally be your chance to get them.
