Epic Games brings the soccer star Neymar into the game. In addition to a new Battle Pass, skins, emotes, and back bling, there will also be a Neymar Cup with special prizes.
Have you always wanted to be a world-class soccer star? At least in Fortnite, that option is now coming soon. Starting Tuesday, fans will be able to level up in the new Battle Pass turf-inspired challenges and unlock rewards centered around Brazilian star kicker Neymar.
Four different skins are available for the megastar. The first look is Neymar himself, dressed normally in his soccer outfit. In the second skin, the footballer wears armor in the Brazilian national colors, reminiscent of a jaguar. This skin is the “Primal” form and can be unlocked by completing several quests. In addition, the two outfits are available once again in a black variant.
He can be contained no more!
Starting April 27, Battle Pass owners can earn the @neymarjr Outfit and other items from his Set.
