Fortnite Resident Evil Skins: When Will They Return?

Fortnite is known for its epic collaborations, and one of the most iconic crossovers involved Resident Evil. Despite their popularity, these skins have been missing from the item shop for almost a year, leaving players wondering when they'll make a comeback.

The Missing Resident Evil Skins

The Resident Evil crossover brought four legendary characters to Fortnite under the Gaming Legends series:

• Chris Redfield
• Jill Valentine
• Leon Kennedy
• Claire Redfield

These fan-favorite characters from Capcom's survival horror franchise last appeared in the shop on April 24, 2023. Despite their iconic status, they haven't returned since, making them highly desirable especially for newer players who missed their initial release.

Are They Coming Back?

Although Epic Games hasn't officially confirmed a return date, dataminers have detected recent changes in the game files linked to the Resident Evil skins. Similar backend updates have previously hinted at upcoming re-releases, sparking hope that these skins could return soon.

Interestingly, Capcom's other Fortnite collaboration—Street Fighter—has also been absent for an extended period. However, many players speculate that Resident Evil may return first due to its continued relevance and fan demand.

What’s Next for Resident Evil in Fortnite?

With the Resident Evil franchise continuing to release new titles, there's potential for fresh skins and future collaborations. However, before expanding the lineup, many fans are eager for Epic Games to bring back the original set.
