Okay, so I saw this question popping up everywhere: “Will Leon come back to Fortnite?” I’m a huge Resident Evil fan, and I love Fortnite, so I had to dig into this. Here’s what I did.
First, I jumped straight into the game. I mean, the best way to see if something’s there is to look, right? I checked the Item Shop, like, religiously. Every day, I’d log in, hoping to see Leon and Claire staring back at me. Nothing. For weeks. It was kinda frustrating, to be honest.

Then, I hit up the usual spots online. You know, the Fortnite forums, fan pages, and all those “leaker” accounts on social media. I spent hours scrolling, reading comments, and watching videos. There were so many rumors! Some people were saying Leon was definitely coming back, others said it was never going to happen. It was a total mess of information.
I even tried to piece together clues from past events. Like, was there a Resident Evil anniversary coming up? Any hints in the game files? I’m not a coder, but I poked around a little – mostly just felt lost, haha.
My “Research” Process
- Checked the Item Shop: Every. Single. Day.
- Scoured the Internet: Forums, social media, you name it.
- Looked for Patterns: Anniversaries, game updates, anything!
After all that, I still don’t have a solid answer. It’s all speculation. I’m starting to think he won’t return anytime soon. But, it’s important to remember that these skins do rotate in and out of the shop, that why i start checking the Shop. I am not the first one to be asking me this question, and i’m not the first to search for it, that why i check all the forums.
So, will Leon come back to Fortnite? I honestly don’t know. My gut feeling? Maybe, someday. But I wouldn’t hold my breath. It’s all up to the Fortnite gods now! I’ll keep checking, though. You know, just in case. Gotta be prepared, right?
