Fortnite has brought back the extremely popular skin of late rapper Juice WRLD after a two-month hiatus, and fans couldn’t have been happier. The emo-rapper was added to Fortnite’s Icon Series posthumously, and the skin pays tribute to his legacy.
Juice was known for his chart-toppers like “All Girls Are The Same” and “Lucid Dreams“, and his death came as a shock to his fans across the globe. While everyone found their own way to pay homage to the rapper, Epic did it by introducing a whole series of cosmetics around him, which was extremely well received by the fans upon release.
During his second stint in the game, Epic has brought back only the skin, while other items from the collection did not make the cut, and therefore, disappointed fans who missed out on the chance of getting the complete bundle the first time. Nonetheless, for those only looking for the skin, the developers have surprised everyone by bringing it back.
Fortnite’s ICON series has been dedicated to bringing fan favorite skins back to the game just to keep the engagement high, which in turn will never prevent players from becoming bored. Having skins rotate regularly gives players the chance of finding the skin they missed out on in the Item Shop.
It goes without saying that fans have widely appreciated Juice WRLD’s comeback to the game, making it a big win for the developers. Having such highly demanded skins on rotation keeps the playerbase hooked to the game and makes sure that boredom isn’t a concern.
If Epic sticks to this strategy, which they likely will, players will have a shot at getting back all those skins they missed out on previously. Only time will tell if we get more such interesting drops, but till then, all the players should capitalise on this one-off chance.
