One of the outfits that players request to come back the most are the Travis Scott Fortnite skins. A collab from the earlier days of Fortnite. At one point it was everywhere, the store, all over banners, and an in-game concert. Now Chapters later though, Travis Scott bizarrely ranks as one of the rarest skins. What happened?
Fortnite has gone on to do much bigger things with collabs, but Travis Scott was one of the first big ones. After the success of the first concert, Travis Scott was the next artist up. Now we get artists featured every season in Fortnite Festival, but Travis Scott has been remarkably absent from that mode, and everywhere else in Fortnite. With even the Fortnite skins not coming back for quite a while. There are reasons for the skins having such a big absence though.

Th Travis Scott Fortnite skins were originally added back in 2020, to coincide with the Fortnite concert for the artist. At this point in the game’s Chapters and seasons, concerts were the main way of featuring artists in the game. They also came with special skins to buy in the store, which were quite popular at first.
These are the Travis Scott skins that were added to the game for the concert.

When are the Travis Scott Fortnite Skins Coming Back?
The big question with the Travis Scott Fortnite skins aren’t what was added, but when they’ll be back. Right now, it doesn’t look like they’ll return any time soon.
Players didn’t have much urgency with the skins originally, there was no reason to think they’d be gone forever. However, in the years since they’ve become some of the rarest Fortnite skins. There are some clear reasons behind the skins absence too, which for once goes beyond Epic just not choosing to cycle them back in anytime soon.
Why Has it Been Gone so Long?

The Travis Scott Fortnite skins have come to be a bit more important to some players over time. Largely how to how rare they’ve become. For a while the reason behind them being taken away was a mystery. Some speculated it was due to the Astroworld concert’s stage collapse. However, in the year since Epic has made things a bit clearer.
We’ve heard that they haven’t come back because of a rights issue. Travis Scott or his representation just aren’t interested in allowing the skins to return. Which explains why there’s no songs from the artist in Festival tracks either.
Even in the Live Event at the end of Fortnite Remix, Travis Scott was weirdly absent. A song featuring him was performed, but he was represented by a weird ghost version of a character. Pretty much confirming the artist wants nothing to do with Fortnite right now.
We could possibly see the Travis Scott Fortnite skins come back if the artist changes his mind. However, at the moment things don’t look too bright.
