Krafton has announced that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will feature a collaboration with Brazilian soccer player Neymar da Silva Santo Junior, with themed graphics appearing in-game and items available in the in-game store.
Neymar’s collaboration stops as part of the 20.2 update, which is expected to be released on PC on November 9th and consoles on November 17th. The visual update will include billboards, building decorations, soccer balls and care packages themed around the soccer superstar.
As a keen player himself, this is not the first time Neymar has partnered with gaming companies. In addition to appearing as the cover star of PES 2016, the footballer was also available as an unlocked skin in Fortnite last year. According to recent leaks for Modern Warfare 2, the athlete could also soon appear as a new operator in the game, along with other great footballers.
PUBG Mobile is also entering the world of football ahead of the Qatar World Cup in November, with a partnership with Lionel Messi announced for the mobile spin-off.
