Lionel Messi will arrive in Fortnite with his own fully customized skin

Bombshell without a doubt what has been revealed recently in the world of video games. Fortnite is apparently preparing the arrival of a new skin to the game of none other than… Leo Messi!

The Argentine footballer is considered by the whole world of football as one of the best players in history, something that has of course led him to become a worldwide personality. This makes the fact that the Epic Games game will feature his custom appearance within the video game a novelty

Fortnite season 5 with two new skins, Solid Snake and Peter Griffin

All this, although it has not yet been officially confirmed, has been revealed by ‘Hypex’ on ‘X’. For those who do not know this user, he is one of the biggest ‘leakers’ (people who are dedicated to revealing exclusive information) of the entire Fortnite community, something that has made him accumulate an amount of 3.6 million followers in the aforementioned social network.

This information seems to be completely true and that soon, from the video game or Epic Games, will reveal new developments in this regard. What seems clear is that in the not too distant future we will be able to enjoy becoming Leo Messi to explore all the places on the Fortnite map.

Other footballers with their own Fortnite skin

Although it may be surprising to many, this is not something new for the video game. The reason is that some time ago they already released the personalized skins of other soccer players, which are still available today.

One of the most striking was Neymar Jr. The Brazilian footballer is one of the most media-friendly players in the world and is still the most expensive signing in history. It is well known how closely he is linked to the world of video games and eSports, so he was the perfect candidate for Epic Games to introduce him to Fortnite

Other cases of soccer players who came to Fortnite were Marco Reus and Harry Kane. Both arrived together during 2021 as part of the celebration of Euro 2020, so both appear in the jerseys of their respective national teams

Fortnite and its great relationship with celebrities

What is no longer in any doubt is that Fortnite is a really special game. Since it became popular several years ago, Epic Games’ title has not stopped growing until it has established itself as one of the games with the most users around the world.

Despite being free, they also have paid elements such as skins. It therefore seems logical from a business point of view that these are constantly being released, with all kinds of skins already available.

However, if they have stood out for anything, it is for managing to bring from real life to the game people who are really famous and have many followers. These are not limited to one sector, but come from practically any field.

Some of the most surprising may be artists such as Ariana Grande, Eminem or Lady Gaga. There are also people related to the world of sports such as the aforementioned soccer players or also from other disciplines such as the driver Lewis Hamilton or basketball player Lebron James.

Ultimately, Epic Games has found where there was a market opportunity within the sector and is exploiting it well. This is a distinctive feature compared to the competition that has made them reach all kinds of celebrities, including now Leo Messi.
