The big mid-season update of Chapter 3, Season 1 is coming and as always the data miners have been rummaging through the game files. They found something that is going to make your day, Vi is finally coming to Fortnite!
Fortnite and crossovers simply go together like an AR and a Shotty in your loadout. Fortnite has a list of collaborations that include some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, like Ariana Grande, J Balvin, and Will Smith, just to name a few of the superstars in the game already. Behold the real Metaverse, not the shitty version Facebook is hyping.
But alongside real-lifers, we also get characters from other video games such as Samus Aran, and even some Street Fighter characters have also appeared in Fortnite. With the release of the successful League of Legends series on Netflix, Arcane, the Champion Jinx was also added to the game. And now, her sister Vi, is finally set to join the lobby.
Is The LoL Champion Vi Coming To Fortnite?
If the new leak from Fortnite Data Miner Shiina is believed, then the League of Legends Champion Vi will be coming to Fortnite soon. To add to that, Shiina has almost never been wrong and also leaked Jinx in Fortnite a few days before the skin was released. Besides, it only makes sense that the cooperation between Fortnite and Riot Games continues, as it was extremely well received by the fans of Arcane. The Netflix series is also extremely enjoyable to watch (So really, if you haven't watched it yet, put it on your to-do list and correct this error you have made).

After Jinx was released in the item store, some fans wondered if Fortnite would include other characters from Arcane. Although it didn't seem like it at first, this was probably simply a tactical move by Epic to once again capitalize on the series' hype at a later date.
When Is LoL Champion Vi Coming To Fortnite?
Shiina has yet to give an exact date as to when Vi will be added to the game. This leak is still super fresh, so we'll probably have to wait a few more days before we can give you a release date for the Vi crossover in Fortnite. However, we don't think it will take too long and Vi will show up in Fortnite in the next 1-2 weeks.
Other than that, what else can we say? Stay hyped and as soon as we have new information about Vi, we will of course update this article. Until then, we will catch you in the lobby, rocking your Jinx skin!
