Fortnite devs U-turn after accidentally bringing back an exclusive skin after almost 5 years, quickly removing it, and threatening to take it from those who bought it: "Change of plan!"

The Paradigm skin in Fortnite.

Fortnite developer Epic Games has backtracked after accidentally bringing back a limited-time exclusive skin almost five years after its release and threatening to take it from new purchasers.

The skin in question is The Paradigm – a skin that was originally available for just three days in October 2019. At the time, it was advertised as an "exclusive" item that would only be "available for a limited time," but lo and behold, those who saw Fortnite's Item Shop refresh with new goodies overnight were in for a surprise, as The Paradigm was inexplicably back, giving players another chance to add her to their Lockers if they weren't able to before.
