It turns out a Neymar PUBG collaboration is in the works, following rumors that the Paris Saint-Germain player would show up as a playable operator in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Neymar joins fellow Paris Saint-Germain player Lionel Messi in Krafton’s battle royale, and while Messi’s update has no release date yet, the Neymar update will launch on Nov. 9, 2022, for PC players and Nov. 17, 2022, for console players.
The centerpiece of the Neymar PUBG collaboration is a skin modeled after the renowned player, but it also includes Neymar-themed billboards, soccer balls, and even building decorations. You can likely expect the same or something similar from Messi’s update, whenever it releases.
As for where that leaves Neymar’s Call of Duty appearance, perhaps Activision realized fans would be asking that same question, as the publisher issued a brief, official announcement on Twitter shortly after the PUBG news broke.

Neymar, Pogba, and Messi will all show up in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 as playable operators – eventually. Activision didn’t announce a release date, though the World Cup just around the corner, it seems likely to happen sooner rather than later.
Details about how much they’ll cost and whether Activision plans on offering the soccer players in a bundle remain up in the air.
