England footballing legend David Beckham will soon be available to buy in Fortnite
Beckham announced the collaboration himself todayesigns for his Fortnite skin. “Working on my new Fortnite character,” Becks captioned the post. “Available very soon.”
A closer look at Fortnite’s plans suggest that the game will introduce two separate Beckham skins, allowing you to play as the former England captain wearing his iconic number 7 shirt, or alternatively wearing a suit and tie — as fans will have seen him in the stands watching games at this World Cup
A brief video attached the post seems to show this suited version of Beckham in action, as the real-life superstar peers into a mirror
Of course, the timing of Beckham joining Fortnite comes just as England seek to continue their World Cup campaign against Argentina in tomorrow’s semi-final. It would be nice if England is still in the World Cup by the time Beckham’s skin releases — which now won’t be until at least Thursday, when the game’s next patch arrives
Beckham will join the many real-life athletes, popstars, actors and icons in Fortnite already, with everyone from Lady Gaga to Darth Vader included. Other sporting heroes already represented in Fortnite including England’s current captain Harry Kane, as well as his Argentine rival Lional Messi. Here’s hoping tomorrow isn’t an actual deathmatch
