| PUBG Mobile announces partnership with soccer star Messi |
PUBG MOBILE has announced a new partnership with soccer star Lionel Messi, which will bring Messi to one of his matches.
PUBG Mobile will celebrate the career of the Argentine footballer next November as part of update 2.3 as it brings the star to players' devices around the world and will be the only battle royale officially related to the Messi Kill game working together.
Messi said: “Video games have always been an important part of my life and I find them useful for relaxing, spending time outside of training and connecting with my colleagues, friends and family. PUBG Mobile is a very fun game, I am one of hundreds of people around the world. One of thousands of fans I am proud of our partnership and would like to invite all players to join me on PUBG Mobile."
Wang Wensen, Head of Mobile Games Publishing for PUBG Mobile at Tencent Games said: “We are very fortunate to have a global sports star in PUBG Mobile. And because we know that many PUBG Mobile players are also football fans, we can't wait to see the game in action. Celebrate the sport and spread the ball spirit among the new fans of the game.”
Messi is considered one of the most important soccer players and is widely considered one of the greatest soccer players in the world. While playing for some of the best clubs in the world and managing the Argentine national team, he won numerous awards including seven Golden Balls and six European Golden Boots. He is also known for his philanthropic efforts on global children's issues, such as his work with UNICEF.
For a limited time, Co-op offers a unique set of in-game clothing and other items that allow players to show off their athletic skills on the battlefield. More information about the partnership will be announced soon.
