Master Chief, the iconic protagonist of the Halo series, is not only a legend in his own right but also a highly sought-after skin in Fortnite. Fans were thrilled to see his return to the Fortnite item shop after an absence of over two years. However, there was a catch that caused some controversy.
When Master Chief was first introduced to Fortnite, a unique Matte Black style was offered exclusively to players on Xbox Series S|X. Initially, it was promised that this style would be available to claim at any time. Thus, when Epic Games suddenly announced its discontinuation, the reaction from the community was overwhelmingly negative.
Some fans even believed this move might breach certain laws and regulations, prompting discussions about potential class action lawsuits. Fortunately, Epic Games quickly reversed their decision just a day later. They announced that the Matte Black style would remain accessible to all Master Chief skin owners, provided they play at least one game on an Xbox Series S|X.
This reversal has been widely regarded as the best possible outcome, especially during the holiday season. With many players celebrating Christmas, it's certainly not the time for such disappointments. This decision ensures that the festive spirit remains high among the Fortnite community.
