Mech Arena Neymar Jr. Commercial

Considered by many to be one of the best soccer players in the world, Neymar Jr has scored more than 450 goals for his club and country and is one of the most famous athletes on the planet with more than 260 million followers on social media. The mix of Neymar Jr's incomparable style and his imposing appearance on the pitch were the inspiration for this limited edition pilot. All pilots in Mech Arena have unique specializations and perks that enhance their mech's abilities. Neymar Jr's pilot is no exception. With his damage- and speed-enhancing abilities, the pilot is the perfect virtual counterpart to the Brazilian soccer world star. Neymar's Pilot is just as capable in the arena as his role model is on the pitch - he has the maximum number of available implant slots and is thus able to use game-changing implant abilities.

"We are honored and excited to welcome such a talented pilot to Mech Arena," said Ronen Gross, VP of Corporate Development at Plarium. "Neymar Jr. is one of the best athletes in the world. His professionalism and ambition made him the perfect candidate for our game. Working with him has been a real pleasure and we can't wait to watch our players have fun piloting Neymar Jr."

"I love gaming as much as I love soccer. Combining the two to create a character with my skills and style in Mech Arena has been an incredible experience," says Neymar Jr. " I can't wait to join my fans and take them further in the game. See you in the arena!"

Neymar's pilot will become the leader of a squad full of exciting characters, including Nova, G-Lock, Yeti and Major. He will be available for a limited time to all players as part of the 7-day Pilot Hunt Loyalty Program. In addition to unlocking the free limited edition pilot Neymar Jr. after seven days of logins, players will be rewarded with up to six custom Neymar-inspired mech skins for logging in daily.
