The rumor had already been running for a few days following a tweet posted by the player of Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil.
It was quickly validated by Nate Nanzer, head of partnerships for the studio Epic Games.
In an announcement made to the American sports television channel ESPN, the latter thus confirmed the imminent existence of a skin in the image of the attacker.
For now, the availability date of this costume remains unknown, and no design has been revealed.
But this collaboration is not trivial.
Indeed, it seems that Neymar himself is an avid Fortnite player.
As Nate Nanzer himself said of the footballer: "The game is part of his life, when he is not in football".
Fortnite Season 6: Many new features, including the Neymar skin
Season 6 of Fortnite was inaugurated on March 16 with a striking trailer co-directed by the Russo brothers, who are at the origin of the film Avengers: Endgame.
This new phase of the Battle Royale has brought many new gameplay elements.
Wild animals made up of wolves, chickens and wild boars now roam freely on the revamped version of the map.
These animals will allow you in particular to recover materials in order to craft more powerful primitive weapons.
In addition to the skin created from Neymar's appearance, other characters will be inviting themselves into Epic Games' Battle Royale during the season.
Lara Croft or Raven, the DC superheroine, should soon be integrated into the game.
