Tel Aviv, Israel, October 6, 2022 - Plarium Global Ltd, a global leader in developing F2P mobile and PC games with more than 435 million users worldwide, brings global football superstar Neymar Jr. to their hit game, Mech Arena in a partnership between Plarium and NR Sports. Sporting a custom-designed bomber jacket and wielding some game-changing skills, Neymar’s pilot arrives in the arena shooter today as a part of its latest update and joins the game's expansive roster as its strongest pilot to date!

Widely regarded as one of the world’s best footballers, Neymar Jr. has scored over 450 goals for clubs and country and has become one of the most famous athletes on the planet with over 260M followers across social media. His mix of indelible style and swagger on the pitch were the inspirations behind the creation of his limited rarity Pilot character. All pilots in Mech Arena have distinct specialisations and perks that enhance the abilities of their Mech and Neymar Jr’s pilot is no different. With damage boosting and speed-enhancing abilities, Neymar’s pilot matches the Brazilian star's powerful presence on the football pitch. As skilful in the arena as he is on the pitch, Neymar’s pilot wields the maximum number of implant slots available and swaps stepovers and rainbow flicks for “implant skills” that have a range of game-altering abilities.
