Summary
Epic Games released an Apple-inspired skin for the #FreeFortnite event back in 2020, and a leak has pointed towards the possibility of this rare skin making a comeback toFortnitebefore the end of Galactic Battle.Fortnitemade its first appearance on mobile devices back in 2018, and it was a hit among the community. WhileFortnitemobile didn’t include some of the features seen on consoles and PC, such as Save the World, and had clunky controls at first, players were just happy to have the option to play it, and it was also greatly improved over time.
Unfortunately,Fortnitewas removed from mobile devices in 2020 due to issues with tax on in-app payments. This was eventually solved in court, but gamers had to wait four years, and it remained off of Apple devices in the US for a while longer. At the start of May, it was announced thatFortnitewould soon come back to iOS devices in the United States, but this was unexpectedly pushed back, asApple ignored Epic’s submission of theFortniteappto delay its return.
It took a couple of extra weeks, but the issue has finally been solved, and fans can nowplayFortniteon iOS devices in the US. Some gamers expected quests and free cosmetics to celebrate this event, and according to HYPEX, a known leaker, the Tart Tycoon skin will probably be making a return toFortnitefollowing this bump in the road. While there were previous rumors of the Tart Tycoon outfit coming back toFortnite, HYPEX now says that it will still be made available this season.
Tart Tycoon Could Release Before the End of Fortnite Galactic Battle
Gamers will supposedly have the opportunity to acquire the Tart Tycoon skin for free in a tournament. However, it is interesting that this is the skin that Epic Games might choose to celebrate this major event, as it was initially given away during the #FreeFortnite campaign after the incident between Epic Games and Apple. This could be a jab at Apple for trying topreventFortnitefrom making it onto the App Storeeven after the court ruled in favor of Epic Games.
The Tart Tycoon has not been available since 2020, making it one of therarest skins inFortnite. Naturally, some fans were upset to learn that the skin would become less exclusive and demanded an “OG style”. It wouldn’t be surprising if Epic Games granted them their request, as many returning cosmetics have received additional styles exclusive to veterans who bought them early on. Players who want to take advantage of this second opportunity to acquire the skin should keep an eye out onFortnite’s Compete tab in-game, as it is rumored to come back before Galactic Battle ends on May 7.
