With this exceptional collaboration, Lionel Messi joins Fortnite
The news around Fortnite is buzzing. Epic Games continues to implement new ideas and exceptional partnerships to offer even more content to players, while trying to expand the community. This time, it's Lionel Messi who will be joining Fortnite.
A partnership to roar with pleasure
We must admit, this end of the year is really very rich. At the end of November, Epic Games added a rather anticipated novelty, the integration of shoes to customize our characters' outfits. Shortly after, the studio offered a return to the origins with Fortnite OG and offered a new experience in early access, Frenzy by name, bringing a 5v5 competitive FPS aspect to the license.
This time, a little before the end-of-year holidays, the developers will unveil new content a bit more traditional but oh so pleasant for all those who love football. Lionel Messi, also known as Leo Messi, will join Fortnite on December 14. More precisely, players will be invited to visit the store to purchase one of the two available outfits, namely the Lionel Messi Outfit and the Streetwear Spark Messi Outfit.
The first will allow you to embody the Argentinian international in an outfit that transitions from Messi's look on the field to his champion look. Better yet, by using the emote The Mane Event, his outfit will transform into Stealth Lion Messi and Gold Lion Messi. The second will have the particularity of reacting to sprints throughout the match. Finally, in addition to the emote The Mane Event described earlier, fans can also get the #1 Fan Llama emote.
Let's end with these few words from Lionel Messi, grateful to participate in such a partnership: “It's incredible to see myself represented in Fortnite. Growing up, I never would have imagined such a thing would be possible. Football has always been synonymous with joy and connection. Now fans can experience it through my own outfits, in a way that goes beyond the field. I hope they have fun!”
