堡垒之夜取消争议性皮肤决定

The iconic Master Chief, the face of the Halo franchise (even if hidden behind a helmet!), is a highly sought-after skin in Fortnite. His return to the in-game shop after a two-year hiatus was met with much excitement, but a small detail soured the celebration.

Originally, an exclusive Matte Black style was offered to players who used an Xbox Series S|X console. For a considerable period, Epic Games advertised this style as perpetually obtainable. The unexpected announcement of its removal, therefore, caused significant backlash.

Some players even believed this action might violate legal regulations and began organizing a potential class-action lawsuit. However, Epic Games quickly 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 sensible outcome. Given the holiday season and the festive spirit of Christmas, such a controversial move would have undoubtedly dampened the celebrations for many.
