Fortnite Neymar skin release date: Skins, quests and the Neymar Cup revealed
A sporting star enters the Fortnite world.
By now, many of you will have already started to experience what Fornite Chapter 2 Season 6 has to offer with the exhilarating conclusion to the Zero Crisis event that has kept us all entertained for a while now.
The event has given us many different skins from the entertainment world, including the Alien Xenomorph, Lara Croft and many characters from Marvel, which have all been welcome additions.
Well, the next skin is not a superhero one (although PSG fans may disagree with that) but a star from the sporting world: Neymar Jr! Here is all we know about his inclusion in Fortnite so far, including when we can get the skin for ourselves - and what sweet rewards we can get by completing Neymar Jr specific quests!
When is Neymar coming to Fortnite?
Epic Games has confirmed that Brazilian football star Neymar Jr is coming to Fortnite on April 27th - so this week! It has also been revealed that Neymar will have 11 cosmetics – more than the Mandalorian has! He'll be the first sportsperson to join Fortnite, and it'll be interesting to see who follows in his studded footsteps. Fingers crossed for Teddy Sheringham to be next.

Fortnite Creative also gets Neymar content

There is a new Paris-themed Welcome Hub made by community creators Kryw and Iscariote, and a new casual combat experience in the “Go Crazy Arena” playlist made by community creators Madmoods and Immature.
The Go Crazy Arena features 8v8 combat and has power-ups and infinite respawns enabled for maximum carnage. Eliminating players earns gold, and that can be used to get bonuses for yourself and other members of your team. Once a team reaches 200 eliminations - they win!
