Neymar Jr. in Fortnite: athletes arrive at the Epic Games game

As anticipated in mid-March, when the arrival of the new Fortnite season was confirmed, Epic Games announced that Neymar Jr., the Brazilian star, will be added to the countless roster of characters in the game. The PSG player and the Brazilian national team will be available to users who have purchased the battle pass starting this Tuesday, April 27, in a basic version with a football shirt, and will offer an alternative version or "primitive form" according to the ad, which is unlocked by completing missions.

Epic also announced two special events to celebrate the arrival of Neymar Jr. to the game: a series of special arenas created by the community in Creative Mode in which various accessories can be used, and the Neymar Jr. Cup, which delivers as a prize a series of custom loot for the primitive form to the best players in each region.

Although the Creative Mode arenas will be open to all players, to participate in the Neymar Jr. Cup, which begins on Wednesday, April 28, certain requirements will have to be met: “Players will be able to compete in up to 10 games within the period of three hours from your region”, the ad explains.
