Inter partners with Epic Games to bring football to Fortnite

MILAN – This week Inter and Epic Games are celebrating global football in Fortnite, alongside more than 20 other top clubs around the world.

Starting 23 January, players can choose from ten different variants of new “Kickoff Set” Outfits to represent their favorite club in-game. Each Outfit can be swapped to any of the 23 football clubs participating, including Inter. Additionally, players will be able to earn or purchase two new emotes, including a “Fancy Footwork” dribbling emote and the iconic “Pelé’s Air Punch” celebration.

Fortniteplayers and footballers around the world can jump into the game on 20 January for the opportunity to earn rewards even earlier by participating in the Pelé Cup. Anyone playing the game can also visit the Creative Hub for an immersive football experience throughout the week, and join select clubs around the world in hosted Fortnite tournaments.

There will be plenty of Nerazzurri content available in Fortnite – from dedicated outfits to Inter emotes, as well as a special Coppa Inter event to be held on Thursday 21 January. The first Inter-themed Fortnite tournament will be open to all gamers and the first 100 to qualify will receive a free Inter outfit in all its variants.

“This collaboration with Epic Games and Inter's appearance in Fortnite underlines our club's commitment to increasing its presence in the world of eSports. The new generations and their interests are of paramount importance to Inter and being a part of Fortnite, the world's largest video game, is a significant achievement which enables us to further expand Inter's brand presence around the world,” said Luca Danovaro, Chief Marketing Officer of FC Internazionale Milano. 

“Football is consistently one of the top sports that our players tell us they want to see and experience in Fortnite. We’re excited to partner with Inter to bring ‘the beautiful game’ to Fortnite fans around the world as they face off in competitive tournaments, experience new creative modes of gameplay, and celebrate global football,” said Nate Nanzer, Head of Global Partnerships of Epic Games.
