PUMA and Fortnite Will Offer Prizes and Exclusive Experiences at the Neymar Jr. Cup
PUMA has teamed up with Neymar Jr. and Fortnite to launch the Neymar Jr. x PUMA Crazy Playground, a creative hub featuring exclusive PUMA rewards for the Neymar Jr. Cup within the Fortnite game. Neymar Jr. became the first athlete to join Fortnite’s Icon Series as part of Season 6’s “Primal” Battle Pass and is giving fans the chance to face off against him in game modes customized by PUMA.
In addition to the “Neymar Jr. Quests” to unlock his outfits, Neymar Jr. and PUMA will be taking over Fortnite Creative starting on April 27 through May 4, featuring a Paris-themed Welcome Hub. When you're ready to get started, you can get in line for the playlist “Go Crazy Arena” – a casual battle experience created by the Fortnite community to celebrate Neymar Jr.’s arrival, from April 27 through April 30.
The “Go Crazy Arena” will feature 8-on-8 matches with infinite respawns and power-ups available for players to earn gold and eliminate their opponents, unlocking upgrades and special bonuses for players and their teams. The first player to reach 200 eliminations wins.
The event will result in the “Neymar Jr. Cup” where players can compete in up to 10 matches in their region within a three-hour time window to win the commemorative PUMA x Fortnite FUTURE Z soccer cleats. The top player in each region from this solo tournament will receive a special pair of these exclusive cleats, which are not available for purchase. To learn more, visit here.
“As a huge gamer, it’s an honor and a dream to be the first athlete to have my own outfits and game modes in the phenomenon that is Fortnite. This also gives me the opportunity to play with my fans and connect with the gaming community,” said Neymar Jr. “There are so many crazy modes and quests to play, and I can’t wait for people to experience it all. Let’s play!”
To celebrate the limited-time launch, PUMA has teamed up with the soccer cleat customizer @silni.art, to create a custom pair of PUMA FUTURE Z cleats, which Neymar Jr. will wear during the match against Manchester City in the Champions League semifinals on April 28.
The Spectra Custom Edition of the FUTURE Z features a FUZIONFIT+ compression band across the midfoot, with Neymar Jr.’s logos scattered along the middle of each boot. Located on the side are Neymar Jr.’s “Primal” skins, which can be unlocked within the game Fortnite.
Don't miss your chance to play these must-try new modes—Neymar Jr. Crazy Playground and the Creative Hub—launching on April 27, where you'll have the chance to play against global superstar Neymar Jr. Fortnite just got even crazier.
