Fortnite Adds Option to Buy Its Battle Pass Rewards After 18 Months
So skins based on real IP can come back.
Epic Games has revealed a change to the way it delivers Fortnite rewards in its Battle Pass structure as it opens up the option to sell items in the Shop that were previously only available if you worked through an old Battle Pass. With a big focus on skins based on real-life IPs like Star Wars and Marvel movies, the change allows the firm to sell those Outfits to people who missed out the first time. Epic Games has placed an 18-month buffer on the initiative, so there'll still be some period of time where they remain a Battle Pass-exclusive item.
The change covers all items available in future Battle Passes; it's not happening retroactively. "At least 18 months after a Battle Pass expires, any type of item from the Battle Pass may be added in the Shop for purchase," said Epic Games. "These include Outfits, Back Blings, Pickaxes, Emotes, Instruments, Decals, Wraps, Loading Screens, Banner Icons, and more." The price of a Battle Pass remains at 950 V-Bucks, and you can still earn up to 1,500 V-Bucks, effectively paying for the next one if you so wish.
