Dexerto has reached out to me ~15 minutes ago explaining that the article regarding Neymar x Fortnite being in the item shop is fake.
They've provided a list of 5 reasons to help clarify why it was fake.
The reasons they provided regarding the article being fake are:
1 - No record of this article on the site at all
2 - The URL redirecting to a Pokemon GO Image is "extremely odd and not something we’ve ever encountered"
3 - Very easy to create fake links
[Cont.]
4 - The site has no dark mode
5 - They wrote a different article about Neymar x Fortnite today talking about the teasers, so it wouldn't make sense to publish two Neymar articles back to back.
And here is the more in-depth version of these same reasons straight from DMs.
I did try to make it clear in my original tweet regarding the supposed "leak" that it wasn't confirmed and was just a "this 'might' happen" type of thing.
Glad to see this cleared up though o/
