A milestone for Fortnite, as professional football player Neymar Jr. will make his way into the game in the form of a new skin.
The Neymar skins will be available in two different forms. One of them is going to be a more normal skin of the football player himself donning his football outfit, while the other one has the look of a metallic jaguar, featuring the colors of the Brazilian flag, which is present throughout all the items. The latter is known as his ‘primal’ form and can be obtained by completing specific Neymar quests alongside Epic-rarity quests.
He can be contained no more!
Starting April 27, Battle Pass owners can earn the @neymarjr Outfit and other items from his Set.

Aside from the special Neymar Jr. skins, players will also be able to obtain other skins and items which are tied to the football players. These include banners and emotes, but there’ll also be a Joia Trophy Back Bling, an Aerial Acrobat Glider and the Jaguar Strike Package to collect. Players who want to collect all the items and features will be able to do so starting April 27.
Neymar himself is known as a huge fan of gaming, often streaming (mostly CS:GO) on his Twitch channel before disappearing from the platform towards the end of 2020. By collaborating with Epic Games and Fortnite, Neymar continues to increase his ties with the gaming world.
