Soccer legend Lionel Messi has officially entered the world of Fortnite with the release of two new skins on December 14, allowing fans to experience the game as Messi himself. The skins reflect different aspects of Messi’s persona and career:

1. Lionel Messi Outfit: Includes Stealth Lion Messi and Gold Lion Messi, showcasing his fierce competitive nature.
2. Streetwear Spark Messi Outfit: Features a casual look with hoodies and jeans, inspired by his off-field persona.

The skins pay homage to Argentina’s national colors and his current club Inter Miami, with no reference to FC Barcelona, symbolizing a new chapter in Messi’s journey. The bundle, priced at 2,800 V-Bucks (about $22.99), also includes two emotes based on iconic Messi moments, adding a playful element for fans.

Messi joins a roster of high-profile celebrities featured in Fortnite, including Travis Scott, LeBron James, and Patrick Mahomes, further blending sports and pop culture. The release has sparked excitement, with fans celebrating this crossover during the holiday season.

Available until December 29, 2024, Messi’s Fortnite debut cements his legacy in both real and virtual worlds, offering players a chance to “live the legend” in a whole new way.
