Fortnite Creative is being taken over by Neymar Jr and Puma between April 27 and May 4.

“After unlocking the soccer ball from the first Neymar Jr Quest, bring it with you to this Hub’s soccer field!
“Additionally, when you’re ready to get into the action, you can queue up for the “Go Crazy Arena” playlist made by community creators Madmoods and Immature.
“This casual combat experience, made in celebration of Neymar Jr’s arrival, will be featured as a playlist from April 27 at 9 AM ET to April 30 at 9 AM ET.”
Finally, there’s a Neymar Jr Cup on April 28.
