MOONTON revealed in a press release that the Neymar Jr and Halo Striker skins were both exclusively designed by Neymar himself.

Both skins features the football star's trademark 10 jersey number in a special yellow and blue toned jersey for his Elite skin, and a cyberpunk futuristic design that corresponds with Bruno's lore as The Protector.

"We wanted to collaborate with Neymar to produce an exclusive World Cup themed skin, a first for us. It is a momentous event for soccer fans in Malaysia, and we wanted to resonate well with our players there by collaborating with Neymar," said MOONTON in a press release.

"We will continue to collaborate with more personalities in the future to reach out to more players."

Neymar is currently playing for French football club Paris Saint-Germain. He is also playing for the Brazilian national team in the World Cup 2022.
