Fortnite is set to get a new skin set that brings the skins of the major football (or soccer) clubs into the game. Dubbed the Kickoff Set, the new skins will be available to players starting January 23, along with Pele’s Air Punch emote. Fortnite developer Epic Games has partnered with 23 soccer clubs to bring their outfits into the game, which players can trade in. Fortnite also features the Pele Cup which will give players a chance to win the Air Punch Emote and the Kickoff Set for free.
Epic Games have partnered with popular soccer clubs to bring their jerseys to Fortnite as part of the Kickoff Set. Clubs include Manchester City, Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, AS Roma, Seattle Sounders FC, Atlanta United, Los Angeles FC, Santos FC, Wolves, West Ham United, and Sevilla, among others. You can check out the full list on the Epic Games website. There are 10 different variants of male and female outfits to choose from.
Along with these skins, Epic has also teamed up with the iconic Brazilian footballer, Pele, to bring their famous Air Punch celebration as an emote to Fortnite. Epic says that Pelé used his iconic celebration 1,282 times in his career. Check out the video below to see what the emote looks like in-game.
The new emote, as well as the skins, will be available from January 23, and the emote can be purchased from the in-game Item Store. Epic Games also says that players have a chance to win the Kickoff Set and a new free emote by participating in the Pele Cup that begins today, January 20. The top scorers of the tournament will have a chance to win a signed custom jersey.
Additionally, Epic Games has added a new soccer-inspired creative island to the Creative Hub. Here, players will engage in 4v4 style matches and use their bodies, spikes, power-ups, speed boosts, and more to outmaneuver the other team. There are two rounds per game and the winners move on to the next round.
