Epic abruptly delays new type of Fortnite cosmetic hours after launch

Kicks’ release in Fortnite has been delayed due to a “visual issue” and here’s everything you need to know about it.

From the start of Chapter 2 Remixwe saw Kicks in action in the current season’s trailer. It was later announced that this addition would be coming to the game with the v32.10 update. That said, the brand new type of cosmetic has now been delayed, as announced by the developers on November 13, 2024, via a post on.

“We are delaying the release of Kicks in version 32.10 while we work on a visual issue,” they explained.

According to the post, players will still be able to unlock the AJ1 Black Toe Reimagined Kicks cosmetic from the Battle Pass, but they will not be able to equip them.

“We are currently working on a fix and will let you know when Kicks is activated and released to the store. We will provide more updates on this as we have new information,” they added.

While they haven’t really specified the visual glitch, so far we know that there are already two different Kicks players that can expect to be added and be able to equip.

The first is of course AJ1 – Reinvented sneakers with black toewhich you can unlock after reach a certain level in the pass.

Meanwhile, the other is the Shark Slippers, an original design from Epic. This one is a little different, as it’s not included in the pass, meaning you can expect it to be available in the item shop.

This may be discouraging for those who have been eagerly waiting for Kicks to be available today, but at least rest assured: the developers have confirmed in a statement. blog post that players can expect the cosmetic to be compatible with “over 95% of outfits” by spring of next year.

It will definitely be interesting to see how things look once added, as there will be a lot more skin customization other than back blings, pickaxes, weapon wraps and the like.
