Is "Great Winter" skin for Bloodhound ever returning?

I know it was never even meant to be released until much later, from what I've been told by friends, but I've had the Imperial Warrior skin for many weeks now and have been wondering if the Great Winter recolor would be coming through the item shop anytime soon. I would love to blow off the dust on my Legend Tokens.

    It's possible for skins to return back on the store again, but there are no guarantees for them to return immediately based off the recent store update from Respawn.

    Hi All,

     

    We’ve seen some threads asking about what happened in the store with the removal of recolors and just wanted to give some quick context.

    We had an issue with the store which meant our next batch of recolors didn’t get in the build in time, so we weren’t able to do the next rotation of recolors. Our options were to just show some number of standard skins or to rotate old recolors back in.

     

    Since we previously said that recolors won’t rotate back into the store for an extended time period, we wanted to avoid putting previous recolors back into the store so soon after their initial release.

     

    The AC only items layout is temporary until the next batch of recolors gets into the build.

     

    EDIT: Patch is / has gone live, so recolors will return as normal on Wednesday after the timers for existing items expire. We didn't want to abruptly switch availability for current items, in case players were making plans based upon the stated end times.

    I was aware of the recolor rotation update at the time of my OP. I was just asking about the Great Winter recolor specifically since it seems like it hasn't come back into the store since its initial release in late Feb/early March. Again, I know it wasn't meant to be released then, but it would nice if it would make another appearance soon. Bloodhound is my top pick and I've been dying to have the Great Winter recolor since I unlocked Imperial Warrior.

    @EA_Blueberry So when does the Great Winter skin for bloodhound come out again, and the airship assassin for wraith and the dark artist for mirage, please come out with these skins again.
