Highlights
- Samsung has contacted Epic Games to bring back the rare Galaxy skin in Fortnite, which was only available to certain players during Season 5.
- The OG Shop in Fortnite will feature skins from Chapter 1, including remixed versions of classic skins, with some being exclusive to Season OG.
- It is unknown if the Galaxy skin will return, as Epic Games has not responded to Samsung UK's tweet, but fans can hope for its comeback before Season OG ends on December 3.
Fortnite players might see the return of one of the rarest skins in the game thanks to the addition of the OG Shop, as Samsung has contacted Epic Games, asking it to bring back the notorious Galaxy skin. Fortnite has always been known for its wide variety of skins and emotes. While emotes are quite fun, skins tend to be the most desirable items among the community. There are even fan-made websites dedicated to predicting which skins will return to the Item Shop soon and how long it's been since they were last seen.
The OG Shop was added to Fortnite when OG Season was released. This shop will contain Fortnite skins commonly seen back in Chapter 1, and it'll also contain remixed versions of classic skins. According to Epic Games, some of these remixed items will actually be exclusive to Season OG and will not return to the game after it ends on December 3.

Following the launch of Fortnite OG last week, the game impressively smashes through its previous player count and hours played milestones.
Recently, Samsung UK contacted Epic Games on Twitter and mentioned the Chapter 1 Galaxy skin. The electronics company asked Epic to bring back "the best skin", and in the same post, it included a picture of this now extremely rare Fortnite skin. The Galaxy skin was introduced back in Season 5, and it could only be obtained by those who played Fortnite Beta on Android using the Samsung Note 9 or the Samsung Tab S4. This offer eventually came to an end and the skin became unobtainable, turning it into a fairly rare skin.
The Galaxy set includes the Galaxy skin as well as the Stella Axe harvesting tool, the Galactic Disc back bling, the Celestial trail, the Discovery glider, and the Llamalaxy spray. The skin is an Epic rarity, so if this Chapter 1 skin came back, it would be sold for 1,500 V-Bucks. However, all of the set's items would likely be put together to create a Galaxy set bundle.
It's possible that this skin wasn't actually exclusive and that it would make a return to the Item Shop during its limited-time OG revamp. Unfortunately, the Epic Games Twitter account did not reply to Samsung UK's tweet, so fans don't know how likely the return of this skin could be. This could've been a teaser or just wishful thinking on Samsung's part, but only time will tell. Fortnite Season OG will be live until December 3, so gamers have until then to find out.
