Argentinian soccer player Lionel Messi is the latest global name to join the Fortnite universe. Last night, the game launched new outfits, emotes, and more, allowing fans and players to experience the spirit of the sports legend.
On the release of the Messi x Fortnite collaboration, the soccer player said, “It's amazing to see myself represented in Fortnite. When I was young, I never thought this would be possible. Soccer has always been about fun and connection, and now fans can experience it through my outfits beyond the field. I hope they enjoy it!”
Released at 7 PM ET on December 13, the Lionel Messi Outfit and the Streetwear Spark Messi Outfit offer two dynamic Messi-inspired looks. The original Lionel Messi outfit can change from Messi's field uniform to Stealth Lion Messi and Gold Lion Messi using The Mane Event Emote.
The alternate Streetwear Spark Messi Outfit offers a more relaxed look that blends into the virtual environment while playing. Finally, the #1 Fan Llama Emote offers a playful expression that brings out a colorful llama pinata.
