Epic Reverses Skin Controversy

Jan 03,25

The iconic Master Chief, the face of the Halo franchise (even behind the helmet!), is a highly sought-after skin in Fortnite. His return to the item shop after a two-year hiatus was met with excitement, but a controversy quickly emerged.

Initially, an exclusive Matte Black style was offered only to players using Xbox Series S|X consoles. For a considerable period, Epic Games advertised this style as permanently obtainable. The abrupt announcement of its removal therefore caused significant backlash.

Some players even considered legal action, threatening a class-action lawsuit, believing the change violated terms and conditions. However, Epic Games swiftly reversed course within 24 hours. The Matte Black style is now available to all Master Chief skin owners who play a single match on an Xbox Series S|X.

This reversal appears to be the most prudent move, especially given the holiday season. Such a controversial decision could easily have soured the festive spirit for many players.
