So here we are: Fortnite keeps surprising and puzzling its players as the Cozy Command Bundle comes back, with frosty winter and fuzzy outfits, all in a bit of holiday cheer. But the weird part of it is that it is that very month of July. High summer. Sweaty skin-drying-from-your-palm kind of July. Pool party kind of July. Local Epidemic Games thought it decent to bring back a bundle that was last seen in the chilling December, more than 210 days ago.
Announcement went from the well-reputed Fortnite leaker, iFireMonkey; while the responses were pure chaos. Some are institutions in excitement; some are confused; a reasonable yet rot-worthy share of comments is directed against Epic for such timing. One user, @LuckxWay, said rather plainly, “Ain’t it the middle of summer rn?” Whereas @avataryui loudly queried, “Who want this wtf, it’s july.” Hmm, good question indeed.
It is just that the item shop never really seemed to care about the seasons in the real world. “Bundles like Cozy Command come and go depending on demand and not on any calendar,” @grok replied. It is sort of like a Walmart putting up Christmas decorations in October-would that annoy you? Possibly. Would that surprise you? Not really. Well, there is your chance-you missed out last winter and cannot afford to wait for six months again.
Not offended by the thing, some players conversely hawked, “Can’t wait for the Cozy Command Bundle to drop tonight!” says @KimberlyJo23227, while @AlexFlame116 deemed, “Jolly Jammer is still the best of them all.” Clearly, the market exists for holiday skins at any time of year.
And then that whole Christmas-in-July debate starts. @d_buchan09 and @jaderockins amicably debated whether players in the Southern Hemisphere actually do celebrate a midyear Christmas (spoiler: some do, but definitely not all). Meanwhile, @Zomberto_ decided to go-breaking-news style with, “Does South America even count here? I never heard of it until last week.” So, there is some room there for a culture clash.
Then those fashionistas decided to weigh in as well. @thecheeseballl questioned, “Why no males?” because evidently, Cozy Command Bundle is not that great of a proposition for the fellas. @Flaily55 retorted, “i don’t remember there being a male version?” So, yeah, looks like the boys are being left out in the cold (pun intended).
Anyway, Fortnite’s gonna keep being Fortnite. Whether snowball fights happen in the middle of July or beach parties in December, this game’s always about chaos. So if you’ve been holding your breath for another shot at getting the Cozy Command Bundle, well, your night is coming. Just don’t explain to me that it makes sense.
If you are confused, strange. But the weirdness is kind of Fortnines whole identity. So, in the end, you grab your ugliest sweaters, slap on those virtual mittens, and ride with all the crazy. Because, who needs logic when you got style?
(By the way, @offthebarhockey wondered if Codename Elf is coming back-any update on that? No clue yet, but hey, if Cozy Command can come back in July, anything is possible.)
