Another Fortnite refund is just around the corner

During the last reset of the item shop, Epic Games accidentally released The Paradigm. This skin was in the vault for almost five years and was last seen in Season X. Many players were disappointed because the game developer stated that the skin was for a limited timeHowever, this is the case with all cosmetic items in Fortnite, which is why the wording was a bit odd.

The popular skin remained in the store for an hour before Epic removed it. The company then announced another Fortnite V-Bucks refund, but this time there’s a surprise. Although The Paradigm has been removed from the store, players who purchased it can keep it. In addition, they can also get their V-Bucks back.

Change of plans! You bought The Paradigm tonight? You can keep it! Its accidental return to the shop is at our expense… so if you bought The Paradigm during tonight’s rotation, you can keep this outfit and we’ll refund your V-Bucks shortly.

In addition, Epic Games will create a new variant of The Paradigm that will be given to players who purchased it in Season X. Interestingly, these players will also be able to return the outfit, which is certainly the right move by the game developer.

The next major update is scheduled for August 16, which is the release of Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 4. Although Epic hasn’t confirmed it yet, we expect refunds to go out on that date. Given the controversy that The Paradigm’s release has generated, we may hear more information from Epic soon.
