Football is coming to Fortnite with a new update from Epic Games including the Pele Cup and collaborations with some of the world’s biggest clubs.

Fortnite’s tremendous success has never ended with celebrity and big brand partnerships, from concerts by real musicians to Galactus, but the partnership between Pelé and Fortnite is a bit of a bend to my brain. there is. I don’t know how many times I think about “Pele’s Air Punch Emote”. Depending on the game icons it’s not much bigger than this.

Pelé is part of a football – or football – theme-based revival on Fortnite that came as a surprise, starting tomorrow with this game called the Pelé Cup. The trophy has a chance to win an emote-paid set with Kickoff (a lot of football jerseys), and top players have a chance to sign an FC Santos shirt (a club where Pelé has spent almost all of his career, and he remains the full Pelé Cup rules here, but, the outdated race to collect points in various Fortnite modes: in your three-hour window, for example, the winning royale is worth 20 points and each finish costs 1 point The top three players in each region wear FC Santos shirts, and thousands of -Emote available as a race prize. Enough, Epic also includes an island with a soccer tournament and competition in Fortnite’s creative mode. This is a 4vs4 game mode where players use their bodies, pickax, and various powerups to win. rounds, where they win and losers face off.

Nate Nanzer, global head of partnerships at Epic Games, explained the collaboration to ESPN: “We think about the evolution of Fortnite, and all of the different IP integrations that we’ve done and brought all these different worlds into the game, I think we’ve done a pretty amazing job across movies and comics.
