Seth MacFarlane Was Completely Unaware of Fortnite Prior to Peter Griffin Crossover
Seth MacFarlane shares surprising insights into Peter Griffin's muscular transformation and reveals his initial unfamiliarity with Fortnite before the epic crossover event
Prior to Peter Griffin's addition to Fortnite, Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy, was unaware of "what the f**k Fortnite" was. However, upon learning about the game, he became enthusiastic about the idea of incorporating Peter onto the island.
The information was disclosed on the official IGN YouTube channel, where MacFarlane likely shared his views on Peter joining the island. Here's what he had to say:
"I had to ask someone to explain what Fortnite is, and after hearing about it, I thought it sounded pretty cool. So, why not give it a try?" During the interview, MacFarlane also discusses the reasoning behind making Peter so muscular. MacFarlane explains that due to budget constraints, Epic couldn't create Peter's actual body. As a solution, they introduced the muscular Peter in Chapter 5 Season 1.
Peter Griffin is now available as a playable character in the Chapter 5 Season 1 battle pass, and players can also challenge him as a boss. Defeating Peter will reward players with high-value gear, and fans are thrilled to have the opportunity to play as the beloved character.

As a passionate fan of both Family Guy and Fortnite, I was ecstatic when I heard about the Peter Griffin crossover. It's amazing to see how far Fortnite has come, from a simple battle royale game to a platform that can host iconic characters like Peter. Seth MacFarlane's initial unfamiliarity with Fortnite only adds to the charm of the collaboration, showing that even the most unexpected partnerships can lead to something truly special.
The muscular transformation of Peter Griffin is a hilarious twist that perfectly captures the over-the-top nature of both Family Guy and Fortnite. It's clear that a lot of thought and effort went into making Peter feel like a natural fit within the game, and I can't wait to see what other surprises Epic has in store for us in the future. Overall, I think the Peter Griffin crossover is a brilliant move that will appeal to fans of both franchises and further solidify Fortnite's position as a pop culture phenomenon.
