Football star Neymar Jr is set to make his Fortnite debut on Tuesday.
The Paris Saint-Germain Football Club forward will be the first athlete to feature within the popular free-to-play Battle Royale video game.
Developer Epic Games has also unveiled a trailer showing what the Brazilian footballer will look like in-game and what skins will come with his character.
Watch the video here:
The video states Neymar's character will arrive with four skins – two based on football jerseys and two other colourful outfits that are reminiscent of a Marvel superhero. Players can unlock these exclusive outfits and other items by completing a series of Battle Pass quests.
"For completing certain amounts of Chapter 2 Season 6 Epic Quests, you'll unlock even more items from his set," the developer said. "You'll also unlock the exhibition version of the Neymar Jr outfit and other items, based on his familiar uniform of yellow, blue and green inspired by the Brazil national football team."
Players can also compete in the Neymar Jr Cup for a chance to win a real-life custom-designed football boot from his team at Puma.
While he may be the first pro athlete to be featured, he’s not the first celebrity. Other stars that have appeared in-game include musicians Travis Scott, Major Lazer and Marshmello.

Libya's Gold
UN Panel of Experts found regime secretly sold a fifth of the country's gold reserves.
The panel’s 2017 report followed a trail to West Africa where large sums of cash and gold were hidden by Abdullah Al Senussi, Qaddafi’s former intelligence chief, in 2011.
Cases filled with cash that was said to amount to $560m in 100 dollar notes, that was kept by a group of Libyans in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
A second stash was said to have been held in Accra, Ghana, inside boxes at the local offices of an international human rights organisation based in France.
