Is Peter Griffin actually in Fortnite Chapter 4? Debunking the viral tweet

Is Peter Griffin in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2? The short answer would be no. Despite there being leaks pertaining to Family Guy in the files, Peter Griffin is not yet in-game. However, some would suggest otherwise, and this is thanks to a viral tweet that has been making rounds on Twitter since April 30, 2023. The tweet in question showcases Peter Griffin on Spawn Island.

In the picture, several snapshots of the character can be seen jumping, emoting, and walking around with a Harvesting Tool. Although the image is of extremely low quality, it looks real nonetheless. That being said, the image was indeed photoshopped and was likely uploaded as a practical joke. However, given how in-demand the skin is, the community took note of the tweet and helped make it go viral.

Peter Griffin in Fortnite has been trending on Twitter, and it's all thanks to the viral tweet

Following the viral tweet, fans took to Twitter to once again raise the demand for the Peter Griffin skin. Although this has been happening for quite some time, every now and again, there's a surge of traffic online that helps promote this trend on social media.

Given that the viral tweet has over 3,600,000 views and 43,500 likes, it's clear that the community badly wants Peter Griffin in Fortnite. Since this is a recurring theme, it is not a fluke either. With Family Guy Season 21 wrapping up, there's all the more reason for fans to demand a skin. Here's what users had to say about Peter Griffin being in Fortnite:

From the comments, it's clear that everyone wants the character to be a part of the metaverse. However, as it stands, Epic Games is yet to confirm whether or not they are working on the Peter Griffin skin. While it can be speculated that a collaboration with Family Guy is in the works, there's no confirmation regarding the skin.

Why is there no confirmation regarding a Peter Griffin skin in Fortnite?

There are several reasons that come to mind as to why there's no confirmation of a Peter Griffin skin, but the main one likely has to do with the potential skin's proportions. Given that larger skins will have bigger hitboxes, this would make the Peter Griffin skin pay-to-lose much like Miss Bunny Penny.

While it will no doubt look amazing in-game, players will find themselves at a distinct disadvantage. While an easy workaround would be to change the proportions of the character, this would ruin the entire aesthetic charm and appeal of the skin.

That said, in all probability, while a collaboration with Family Guy may occur during Chapter 4, it may be limited to supporting cosmetic items like Back Blings, Wraps, Gliders, and Harvesting Tools.
