Rumours: legendary footballer Lionel Messi will appear in Fortnite

A well-known Fortnite insider claims that Lionel Messi will soon appear in the game. HYPEX shared this message on Twitter, accompanying it with an image of the famous footballer.

Here's What We Know

This is not the first time a footballer has appeared in Fortnite: stars such as Neymar, Harry Kane, and Marco Royce have previously appeared in the game.

The last few days have been full of events in Fortnite, including the launch of Fortnite OG and the announcement of new modes, one of which is similar to GTA Online, and rumours about the appearance of Hatsune Miku.

Data miners also found references to Lionel Messi in the game's code during the latest update. References to "Lionel Messi" and "Streetwear Spark Messi" were found in the code. As always, such statements should be taken with caution until they are officially confirmed, as the situation can change at any time.
