It's fair to say Fortnite has stolen the show once again with the release of Chapter 6 and the recent leaks of confirmed collaborations with Hatsune Miku, Pixar's Cars, Demon Slayer, and many more.
Although Fortnite's most exciting projects are upcoming game modes like Ballistic, Epic Games' collaborations with artists, shows, and even athletes always do incredibly and get everyone's eyes. Now, the game may have done it again.
According to multiple popular Fortnite leakers, Lionel Messi is coming to Fortnite. The Argentinian player is, alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, the most famous football player of the century. If you're a football (as a European, I am never using the "s" word!) fan, this bundle is for you!
Unfortunately, while Fortnite's collaboration with Messi has been reported by many leakers, no release date has been confirmed as of yet. Additionally, we still don't know what the cosmetics will look like.
For many, Lionel Messi is the best footballer ever, even above Pelé and Diego Armando Maradona. The Argentinian started his professional career for FC Barcelona and also played for PSG. He's currently in the MLS playing for Inter Miami.
Although there's an ongoing debate about whether him or Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player of the century, trophies and individual distinctions can't be denied: Messi is the only player in the world with eight Ballon d'Or and recently won the World Cup while being the tournament's best player.
While Cristiano is often seen as the highest scorer of the two, which is true, Messi's prime version did something nobody else could even dream to do: the Argentinian is the highest-scoring player ever in a natural year, with 92 goals. To put that into perspective, the Premier League team Arsenal has recently reached 100 goals in 2024 counting all of the squad's players.
