Epic Games and Brazilian soccer player Neymar tease a possible appearance of the star athlete in Fortnite on March 16, with clues via a couple of tweets. Eurogamer first reported the news, including a video tweeted from the Epic Games account showing Neymar’s No. 10 jersey. Neymar retweeted the video with the “eyes” emoji, not exactly a confirmation, but another clue that something is brewing.
So details on how exactly Neymar could appear in Fortnite are still scant, but how Engadget notes, it will arrive at the same time as the Zero Crisis Finale single-player mission is released, which is the focus of the teaser video. Neymar himself has not played in a soccer game (or soccer, take your pick) since he was injured several months ago.
Live events in Fortnite have proven very popular, with a Marshmello concert in 2019 that drew 10 million people, which was a record event for the game at the time, and a performance last year by Travis Scott, which also took place within Fortnite, attracted more than 12 million people. In January, developer Epic Games promised $ 20 million for esports in Fortnite in 2021.
