Over the weekend, theFortniteteases came fast and furiously. One of those teases from the game’s official accounts seems to be hinting that Brazilian soccer star Neymar is coming.

The hints started in a short video posted of Jonesy talking aboutwhat’s coming in Season 6 ofFortnite. Alongside audio of the well-known in-game character are several images that flash across the screen. A closer look at the flash of images shows an athletic jersey sporting the number 10 and a soccer ball. There’s also a glaring eyeball that appears to be quite a bit less ominous than it first appeared.
Fans quickly compared the images to pictures closely associated with Neymar and his Brazilian soccer team. They found the jersey looked quite a bit like his. The angry stare was apparently also tied to the team in the form of its mascot. Once the dissection of the images was complete, many in the community posited Neymar skins will bepart of Season 6 ofFortnite.
The hints didn’t stop with that teaser video either. On Saturday, theFortniteBrazil Twitter account briefly changed its profile photo. The image showed the game’s signature Llama, though with a twist, as it sported a mohawk akin to the one that Neymar used to have.
The soccer star got into the action as well, tweeting out the eyes emoji at the teaser post from the mainFortniteTwitter account. That account tweeted back at him a short gif saying “shh,” further convincing those in the community that something was indeed planned for a crossover. Should the official reveal for some kind of Neymar skins coming at thebeginning of Season 6 ofFortnite, his fans won’t have to wait long. Epic previously announced the new season is going to kick off on March 16. The new season is going to include a solo player adventure starring Agent Jones that should shed some light on just what the game has planned.
