Fortnite made headlines with its recent League of Legends crossover to celebrate the Netflix series Arcane, and now another one is on the way as Vi will be getting her own skin.
Epic Games’ hit battle royale, Fortnite, is known for its huge collaborations with pop culture icons, including beloved video game characters like God of War’s Kratos and Horizon Zero Dawn’s Aloy.
So it was no surprise when they collaborated with League of Legends to coincide with the franchise’s acclaimed Netflix show Arcane last year, bringing Jinx to the Island with her own skin and cosmetics.
Now, Jinx’s sister Vi is packing a punch with her own Fortnite skin.

How to get Vi skin in Fortnite
Like most other skins, the Vi skin will be obtainable by purchasing it from the Item Shop when it goes live.
Vi is rocking her signature pink hair and punk street fashion, so she should be immediately recognizable to League of Legends fans and Arcane enjoyers.

Fortnite Vi skin release date
Vi’s skin will release to the Fortnite Item Shop on January 22 at 7pm ET.
Time converts to 4pm PT, or 11PM GMT for players in the UK.
Fortnite Vi skin price
As of now, there is no official price set for the Vi skin. The Arcane Jinx skin by itself was 1,500 V-Bucks when it dropped, so it’s likely that Vi will cost the same.
Players will also have the option to purchase additional cosmetics along with the base skin in the Arcane Vi Bundle which includes:
- Outfit (+ Back Bling)
- Pickaxe
- Vi Emote
- Piltover’s Finest Loading Screen
Along with Vi, Jinx’s skin will come back into the shop along with her Dream Monkey Back Bling, Pow Pow Crusher Pickaxe, and Playground Lobby Track.
