Epic Games has brought a wild array of "guest stars" to Fortnite this season. Now there are leaks of a skin again, but they've got the data miners confused. Could Peter Griffin from Family Guy be coming to Fortnite?
This season alone, Star Wars, DC and Marvel heroes, Walking Dead stars, the Terminator, the Predator, TRON, and most recently Ryu and Chun-Li from Street Fighter have appeared in Fortnite. Now leaks for another skin have surfaced that have already knocked our socks off a bit. Will Peter Griffin from Family Guy be the next star in Fortnite?
Family Guy X Fortnite
While digging out the files that were added with the Street Fighter update, several images from Family Guy were leaked, showing some of the most famous scenes from the series. Among them, for example, is the big chicken fight or Peter hurting his knee. These stick to a backbling file codenamed "fries," which many now believe is a reference to the "Ding fries are done!" Family Guy joke.

Fans believe these images could play as an animated video. This could be seen in a new portal in Fortnite, which appeared all over the map after a new guest star. If the images are really related to a backbling, it could also be a kind of TV that plays the clips on a continuous loop.

Will we Get a Peter Griffin Skin?
Now, none of this means that we'll be getting a Peter Griffin skin in Fortnite, but after all the collaborations Epic has brought lately, we won't be too surprised. Maybe the crossover is some sort of hoax and Agent Jonesy accidentally teleported to the wrong universe. After all, the season still revolves around the universe's greatest hunters, and next to great fighters like The Mandalorian, Green Arrow, or Chun-Li, Peter would look pretty old.
We'll see what comes of this, and how these leaks will manifest in Fortnite when the collaboration comes to fruition.
