Following rumours regarding Lionel Messi making an appearance in Fortnite, Epic Games have now made an official announcement. A short teaser showcases the football superstar as an in-game character with his iconic celebration emote. What’s more is that fans do not have to wait long, as the Messi bundle was made available soon after the announcement.
The entire Lionel Messi Bundle currently costs 2,800 V-Bucks and features the complete set with emotes, back bling, spray, etc. However, players can get everything in the bundle separately if they want anything specific. Do note that the bundle does provide a better deal if players are looking to get multiple items.
Live the Legend.

I hope you enjoy it!” Leo Messi said in his statement as per iFireMonkey on X.

Along with that, the regular Lionel Messi and Streetwear Spark Messi also have alternate styles. The Number 10 Back Bling can also be altered, and the entire Portable Playmaker Back Bling is a reactive skin.
The Mane Event emote also turns Messi into an actual Lion, as showcased in the announcement. There are two variants for those. The regular white one has a theme of his country, while the other one is a golden lion showcasing why he is one of the best.
Watching the Lionel Messi bundle has also riled up Cristiano Ronaldo fans, as they are now asking to also bring him in the game. Unfortunately, at the moment, there is no news regarding a Ronaldo collab.
