Okay, so I saw this question popping up all over my usual Fortnite haunts: “Will Leon come back to Fortnite?” People are really hyped about the Leon S. Kennedy skin, and I get it, he’s a classic! I’ve been playing Fortnite for a while, and I’ve seen skins come and go, so I decided to do a deep dive and see what the deal was.
First, I checked the in-game item shop. Nothing. Not a surprise, really, since they rotate stuff in and out all the time. It’s all about keeping things fresh, I guess. But, not seeing him there didn’t mean much.
Next, I jumped onto the Fortnite forums and Reddit. These places are like gossip central for the game. Lots of speculation, rumors, and wishful thinking. I scrolled through tons of posts. Plenty of people wanting Leon back, but no real concrete info. Just the usual, “I hope so!” and “He’s my favorite!” type comments. It was a fun place, but not a lot of good information.
My Digging Gets a Little Deeper
I figured I’d check some of those Fortnite news sites – you know, the ones that always seem to have the inside scoop. I found a few articles mentioning the Leon skin, but most of them were just talking about when he was first released. Old news! Still, it was a reminder that he was in the game before, which means he could definitely come back.
Then I remembered: Fortnite loves doing crossovers! Resident Evil is huge, right? So, I started looking at Resident Evil news. Any new games coming out? Any anniversaries? Anything that might make Epic Games (the Fortnite folks) want to bring Leon back to promote something. I spent a good hour on this, and honestly, I didn’t find anything solid. Plenty of Resident Evil stuff happening, but nothing that screamed, “Fortnite crossover time!”
Conclusion time.
So, after all that, here’s my completely unofficial, totally-based-on-my-own-experience answer: Maybe? There’s no official word, but it’s definitely possible. Fortnite loves bringing back popular skins, and Leon is super popular. My advice? Keep checking the item shop, and keep an eye on Fortnite news. If he’s coming back, that’s where you’ll hear about it first. In the meanwhile,I cross my fingers, too.
