Fortnite Red Knight Skin Returns Tomorrow

It looks like the “Like for Red Knight” tweets have finally made a wish come true.

The Fortnite Twitter account had a surprise tweet to share over the fourth of July holiday announced the Red Knight skin will be returning to the Item Shop on July 5.

Epic Games has said in the past all skins and Battle Pass items will be exclusive to the particular season which is why it’s surprising to see Season 2’s Red Knight return.

The first sighting of the portals was at Lonely Lodge but they have since spread to places like Tomato Town and Retail Row. The tomato head on top of the Tomato Town restaurant has recently fallen victim to a portal. We’ll surely receive more clues and information about Season 5 once the current season winds down.
