In late 2021, Fortnite teamed up with Riot Games for a major crossover featuring Jinx from the acclaimed animated series Arcane. The collaboration proved so successful that Epic Games and Riot are back with more. Recent Fortnite Item Shop bundle leaks confirm a new Arcane-inspired skin for Vi, the League of Legends enforcer known as the Queen of Piltover's undercity.
This Vi skin draws directly from Arcane, capturing her post-time skip look in the red jacket she claims from a punk upon returning to the underground. Her bundle swaps her signature gauntlets for Jayce's hammer and includes the poignant toy bunny backpack, symbolizing lost innocence, plus striking Arcane splash art for Fortnite.
Vi isn't arriving alone. Due to overwhelming demand, the original Jinx Arcane skin returns, now in her post-time skip purple striped capris. Her updated bundle features a pickaxe powered by glowing green Hextech energy, the infamous cymbal monkey from the series, a graffiti spray of the monkey head, an exclusive music track, and dual Arcane/Fortnite splash arts spotlighting Jinx.
The addition of Vi has reignited excitement among Fortnite players for deeper League of Legends integrations. While she might have been planned alongside the original Jinx release and delayed, these leaks hint at potential future skins like Caitlyn or Silco. Fans, share your wishlist with Epic!
Though Fortnite frequently crosses over with pop culture, partnering with a rival like League of Legends is noteworthy. Arcane's standalone appeal and promotional needs likely paved the way. Stay tuned for what's next in this epic collaboration.
