The football world is colliding with the battle royale universe as whispers of Lionel Messi making his way into Fortnite are swirling around. Thanks to a well-known leaker, HYPEX, we might be gearing up for yet another celebrity crossover that could have players donning their best streetwear while scoring virtual goals.
Remember that this isn’t uncharted territory before you start dreaming of dribbling past opponents in a Messi skin. Other soccer legends like Neymar and Harry Kane have already graced the lively island with their presence. But come on, Messi? That’s next-level excitement!

This past week has been nothing short of a Fortnite fever dream. From the nostalgic vibes of Fortnite OG to the electrifying Juice Wrld event, Epic Games knows how to keep us on our toes. And now we’ve got rumors about Hatsune Miku joining the fray in 2025. What’s next, a full-blown concert?
Over on Twitter, HYPEX dropped some exciting info claiming that Lionel Messi will make an appearance soon. During the latest patch update, dataminers have even spotted references to “Lionel Messi” and “Streetwear Spark Messi” nestled within the game’s code. Sounds legit, right?
Of course, take this news with a grain of salt, anything can change immediately until Epic makes an official announcement. But imagine dropping into Tilted Towers and rocking that iconic number 10 jersey.
