League of Legends’ Piltover Enforcer and star of Riot’s Netflix show Arcane – Vi – has been officially added to Fortnite.
The LoL champion first arrived in that game back in late 2012, and despite having plenty of skins, has not had a gloveless variant – until now.
But the gloves aren’t off for League of Legends players – the gloveless Arcane Vi skin is being added exclusively to Fortnite.
Vi was added to the Fortnite Item Shop today (January 23rd 2022), with the Arcane Vi Outfit costing 1,500 V-Bucks (about £10).
There’s also a bundle available, priced at 1,800 V-Bucks, which includes the bunny ‘Memories of Zaun’ Back Bling, the Piltover Warden Hammer Pickaxe (‘Vi’s weapon of choice while her gauntlets are being repaired’ according to a press release), the Punching Practice Emote and the Piltover’s Finest Loading Screen as seen below:
The news comes a few months after League of Legends Arcane characters like Jinx were added to PUBG Mobile, Fortnite and Among Us, while the Epic Games Store also had LoL, TFT, Valorant and Legends of Runeterra added to it.
Jinx is already in Epic Games’ shooter Fortnite, and now her sister Vi has joined her.
To celebrate Vi’s arrival in Fortnite, Arcane Jinx and her accessories have also returned to the Fortnite Item Shop.
This includes the Arcane Jinx Outfit, Jinx’s Dream Monkey Back Bling, the Pow Pow Crusher Pickaxe and the Playground (Instrumental) Lobby Track from the Arcane Original Soundtrack.
The Arcane Jinx Bundle includes all of these items plus the Jinxed Spray, Wreaking Havoc Loading Screen and Katchoo! Loading Screen.
