If you were worried that you missed your chance to unlock the iconic Spartan John-117 (aka Master Chief, aka John Halo) in Fortnite, rest easy. You can still get your hands on the matte black Master Chief skin for the foreseeable future—as long as you’re playing on an Xbox Series X/S console. So yes, if you’ve ever wanted to drop into Fortnite dressed as Master Chief and take down characters like Goku or Peter Griffin, you’re in luck. The skin is still available, and there’s no rush to grab it... yet.
The confusion started with a December 23rd tweet from the official FortniteStatus account, which mentioned that the Master Chief skin would no longer be available after December 2024. This seemed to imply that players would only have 23 days to purchase the skin before it was pulled from the store—a very limited window indeed.
However, vigilant fans quickly spotted the issue. Back in 2020, when Epic Games first introduced the matte black Master Chief skin, they explicitly stated that there would be “no time limit for unlocking this style.” In other words, the skin was meant to be available indefinitely.
In response to the confusion, Epic Games issued an apology on Christmas Eve, clarifying that the skin would indeed remain available for those who want to unlock it in the future. Looks like Master Chief pulled off yet another victory—just in time for the holidays.
So, if you haven’t yet unlocked Master Chief’s legendary skin, no need to worry. It’s still out there, and you’ve got all the time you need (as long as you’re on an Xbox Series X/S). Who knows? Maybe in the future, we’ll see Master Chief trying to secure his place in Fortnite, much like Wreck-It Ralph did in the movies. The possibilities are endless!
