How to Get Lionel Messi Skin in Fortnite

Epic Games is about to add Lionel Messi to Fortnite. With the skins dropping in the Item Shop tonight, you’ll want to know your options and how many V-Bucks you’ll need.

I’ve gone through all the bundles and individual items to give you a clear picture of what you’re getting for your V-Bucks. The skins are part of the Icon Series, and they’ve done a good job capturing Messi’s look – from his traditional soccer gear to a more relaxed streetwear style. Let’s get into the details of how you can get these skins and what comes with each bundle.

How to Get Messi Skins in Fortnite?

The Messi skins will launch in the Fortnite Item Shop on December 13, 2024, at 9 PM ET. You can get them directly from the Item Shop using V-Bucks. You can also purchase the skins through the official Fortnite Item Shop website.

The skins are available either individually or as part of a bundle. Here’s what you’ll need to spend:

• Complete Messi Bundle: 2,800 V-Bucks
• Default Lionel Messi skin: 1,800 V-Bucks
• Streetwear Spark Messi skin: 1,500 V-Bucks
• Individual pickaxes: 800 V-Bucks each
• #1 Fan Llama emote: 400 V-Bucks

All Messi Skins in Fortnite

Epic Games has created two distinct Messi skins, each with its own style and variants:

The default Lionel Messi skin shows him in a black kit. This skin comes with two additional variants: the “Might” style, which turns Messi into a white-painted lion wearing a crown, and the “Zeal” style, featuring a gold-painted lion with the same crown. It includes the Number 10 Back Bling and The Mane Event built-in emote.

The Streetwear Spark Messi skin presents a more casual look, with Messi wearing jeans and a white hoodie featuring a pink number 10 – a nod to both his iconic shirt number and Inter Miami’s colors. You can customize this skin with headphones and reactive features. It comes with the Portable Playmaker Back Bling.

If you’re low on V-Bucks, you can earn more through the Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Pass or buy them directly from the store. I’d suggest taking a good look at each bundle to see which one fits your needs best. The complete bundle gives you the most value if you want everything, but if you just want a specific look, the individual bundles might work better for you.

Remember to grab what you want before the skins leave the shop – Epic hasn’t said exactly how long they’ll be available, but Icon Series items typically stay in the shop for about a week or two.
