Messi is coming to Fortnite: the Argentine star will have two new outfits in the game
The Argentine star will soon be available in Fortnite with not one, but two different outfits. We tell you all the details that have surpassed before his launch.
Fortnite is living a very sweet moment, and can boast of still being a game as a relevant service seven years after its launch. As part of this currency strategy, Epic Games often adds various collaborations with famous figures such as Snoop Dogg or Eminem. The next big star to join the game has to do with sport, specifically football. According to a leaker of the game, Leo Messi will soon arrive in Fortnite with two new outfits.
Lionel Messi will have two outfits in Fortnite: what they look like, and when they will be available.
This information has been shared on X by renowned leaker and dataminer HYPEX, who has a great track record of hits behind him and his privileged position allows him to have first-hand information shared by some Epic Games insiders. HYPEX claims that Leo Messi will arrive in Fortnite in the form of two new outfits with different accessories. This content would be available in the in-game store from Friday 13 December 2024 and would be as follows:
- Messi Bundle (includes all his items) 2.800 V-Bucks
- Messi kit 1: 1.800 V-Bucks
- Messi outfit 2: 1,500 V-Bucks
- Messi emote 1: 400 V-Bucks
- Messi emote 2: Included as part of one of your two outfits
- Messi pickaxe 1: 800 V-Bucks
- Messi pickaxe 2: 800 V-Bucks
To give you an idea, the current exchange rate in the Fortnite store is $8.99 = 1,000 V-Bucks. These cosmetic items are not too out of line with what we are used to seeing, and can even be considered “cheap” when compared to, for example, the expected Marvel movie collaborations. Although the look of the outfits as such has not been revealed, this is very good news for their fans, who are eagerly awaiting their arrival in the Fortnite store. Given the precedent set by other celebrity outfits, it is expected that there will be a strong resemblance between the real player and their virtual avatar.
This is not the first time the Argentinian, who currently plays for Inter Miami, has chosen to put his face into a video game; his outfit in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty Warzone was one of the most talked about during his debut in the game.
Lionel Messi’s arrival in Fortnite not only expands the reach of one of the world’s most popular video games, but also highlights the growing intersection between sports and digital entertainment. The inclusion of a figure as influential as Messi strengthens the game’s global appeal, allowing millions of football fans to interact with their idol in a whole new way. These types of collaborations cement Fortnite as a cultural platform that transcends the realm of video games, bringing diverse communities together under a single interactive universe.
