Neymar Jr. highlighted on all counts
It is through a trailer of barely a minute (visible above) that Neymar Jr. reveals himself as ambassador of Mech Arena, swapping his sportswear for a more colorful jacket and a Mech, the football field for a combat arena and the ball for missiles. You would have understood it, Neymar Jr. goes from footballer to Mech pilot, the time of a game of Mech Arena thanks to the latest update of the game.

I love video games as much as football, so combining the two to create a character with my skills and style in Mech Arena was an amazing experience. I can’t wait to join my fans and help take their game to the next level. I’ll see you in the Arena!
And that’s not all… Icing on the cake for the Brazilian footballer, his modeling seems more successful in Mech Arena than in FIFA 23.
