PUMA and Neymar Jr. have announced a one-of-a-kind partnership with Fortnite as the Brazilian superstar continues to dominate the headlines and the pitch.
Neymar Jr. has entered the Fortnite world with a set of commemorative kits and more with the Battle Pass. But that’s not all. In celebration of his arrival, the Paris Saint-Germain forward and PUMA are taking over the Fortnite Creative from April 27 to May 4 with a special Paris-themed Welcome Hub. In addition to that, the “Go Crazy Arena” features an 8v8 match-up with infinite respawns and power-ups enabled for players to earn gold by eliminating opponents, unlocking upgrades, and special bonuses for
players and their teams. The first to reach 200 eliminations wins.
The event culminates with ‘The Neymar Jr. Cup’ where players can compete in up to 10 games in their region’s three-hour time window to win commemorative PUMA x Fortnite FUTURE Z football boots. The top player per region in this solo tournament will receive a special pair of these exclusive not-for-sale football boots. Learn more about the contest here.
In addition to the tournament and the prize for the victors, PUMA has teamed up with Silni for a custom boot that Neymar will wear as PSG takes on Manchester City in the Champions League semifinal match on April 28.
“As a huge gamer, this is an honor and a dream to be the first athlete ever to feature their own custom outfits and game modes in the worldwide phenomenon that is Fortnite. This also gives me the opportunity to play with my fans and connect with the gaming community,” Neymar Jr said. “There are so many crazy modes and quests to play, and I can’t wait for people to experience them all. Let’s play!”
