Epic added a Cabined Accounts system to keep younger users safe – around the same time the FTC fined the company $520 million for allegedly deceptive practices. Introduced in Season 1 as one of the first custom skins, Skull Trooper and Skull Ranger have several styles as part of the.

Given the association with both outfits – plague, of course, and widespread death and devastation – it’s perhaps unsurprising that Epic removed the skins when they did.įortnite is currently in the middle of its fourth chapter’s first season, made in Unreal Engine 5 for the first time. Plague and Scourge were pulled at the end of January 2020, as the Covid-19 pandemic began spreading across the globe. Epic typically only pulls them if they’re associated with some kind of controversy – such as the Rue skin, which was compared to a Nazi costume after it launched in 2020, and the Travis Scott skin, which disappeared after a series of fatal accidents at one of the rapper’s 2021 concerts. While Fortnite skins often rotate in and out of the shop, it’s rare to see any skin vanish for more than a few weeks or months.

Epic made no announcement about them being back on the market, just as they said nothing when they pulled them from the store. The cosmetics’ return happened just as quietly as their initial disappearance.
