Peter Griffin from Family Guy is coming to Fortnite Chapter 4

Is Peter Griffin from Family Guy coming to Fortnite Chapter 4? While the answer is far from a resounding "yes," there is a possibility of a collaboration occurring soon. This has been a hot topic for close to two years, and the community has had its share of fake news and updates about the same.

While this new information should also be treated as a rumor for the time being, there is a lot of evidence to support the statement. Thanks to data miners and leakers, there is now tangible evidence that Epic Games is currently working on something related to Family Guy.

New leak breathes life into the Family Guy collaboration rumor in Fortnite Chapter 4

To understand these rumors and leaks, readers must first take a short trip back in time to February 21, 2021. On this day, a texture codenamed "FrenchFry" was decrypted that used a clip from Family Guy.

At the time, this made no sense since there was not much going on in the game. Nevertheless, rumors about a potential collaboration took root and caught hold of the community. Nearly two years after this occurred, new information has finally been revealed.

Thanks to leakers GMatrixGames and FN_Assist, it can be confirmed that Epic Games has been working on a male skin under the codename "FrenchFry." It is called "CID_TBD_Athena_Commando_M_FrenchFry." Since it uses the codename related to Family Guy, this might be a Peter Griffin Fortnite skin.

To back up this potential Family Guy collaboration, there's yet another leak to take into consideration from April 5, 2022. During the State-of-Unreal showcase, a second monitor present in the video presented a few folders on the screen.

They were labeled to represent upcoming collaborations with characters/franchises such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Indiana Jones, Darth Vader, Doom Slayer, and last but not least Family Guy.

Given that everything except the latter has come true, this is further proof that it wasn't just a coincidence that these names were shown. Lastly, since the codename is "FrenchFry," this no doubt takes inspiration from Ding! Fries are Done! song that Peter Griffin sings in the franchise.

With all that said, it can all but be confirmed that a Peter Griffin Fortnite skin alongside other characters/cosmetics from Family Guy will be added to the game soon.

When will the Family Guy collaboration occur in Fortnite Chapter 4?

Considering that Family Guy was last on the list showcased in the video, it was probably worked on after all other collaborations were completed. Despite the codename "FrenchFry" being created in 2021, developers don't always start working on things immediately.

Furthermore, since most collaborations occur based on trends, Epic Games will wait until the perfect moment to capitalize on the occasion to maximize revenue. This was clearly evident during the Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader collaborations, which coincided with Disney's Obi-Wan Kenobi series.

Similarly, with Season 21 of Family Guy underway and scheduled to end sometime in May of 2023 (based on episode listings), this timeline suggests that the collaboration will take place in Chapter 4 Season 2. Of course, this could change based on Epic Games' discretion.

However, if this speculated timeline holds, the Peter Griffin Fortnite skin and other related cosmetics will likely be included in the Chapter 4 Season 2 Battle Pass. Alternatively, they might be added to the Item Shop, similar to how Obi-Wan Kenobi was introduced.
