Developed by Epic Games, Fortnite is an online video game that was published in 2017. It comes with three different game mode variants, all of which have the same overall gameplay and game engine. They are Save the World, Fortnite Battle Royale, and Fortnite Creative.
A few months after Fortnite’s 2017 release, the first season of the game kicked off. Numerous seasons have since been released, the most recent of which was Fortnite Chapter 4, Season OG, which debuted on November 3, 2023.
Throughout Fortnite’s 26 seasons, Epic Games has skillfully added to and enhanced the game by adding new characters, weapons, consumables, cosmetics, and special events. After Fortnite Chapter 4, Season OG ends on December 2, the new Chapter 5: Season 1 will be due.
Fortnite brings Peter Griffin
Excitement is building for Fortnite’s upcoming Chapter 5: Season 1 due to an unexpected crossover starring Peter Griffin from the Family Guy. Shown on the Xbox consoles, the upcoming season is scheduled to begin following the much-anticipated Big Bang live event.
The collaboration has been alluded to for years. Back in 2021, data miners found evidence of Peter Griffin’s in-game presence. Through a development video, Epic Games alluded to “Vader” and “Family Guy” in April 2022, hinting at a deeper collaboration.

With the inclusion of Peter Griffin, Epic Games is carrying out its plan of bringing a variety of content to Fortnite, including recent additions like Eminem and Atom Eve from Invincibles and characters from Disney properties. However, as of now, it is safe to assume that only Peter Griffin from the Family Guy will be coming to Fortnite.
Fortnite Chapter 5
With the potentially significant changes that the event may bring with it, Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 1 is looking to usher in a new era. The game is anticipated to experience a prolonged downtime following the Big Bang live event, in order for Epic Games to start patching patches and incorporating the recently released Chapter 5 Season 1 into the game.
The eagerly anticipated crossover with the LEGO universe is one of the collaborations for Chapter 5: Season 1. The collaboration is expected to be enormous, adding a new game mode and even including LEGO characters.
Having LEGO in Fortnite will open up so many opportunities for players to play in many different ways.
