Fortnite, the global phenomenon in battle royale gaming, is gearing up for its next big chapter, promising a spectacular mix of iconic characters.

Unexpected Crossovers and New Adventures
The upcoming season seems to be a treasure trove of surprises, with a lineup that includes a tiger-human hybrid, the stealthy Solid Snake, and the long-awaited appearance of Peter Griffin. The inclusion of Peter Griffin has been a subject of speculation for years, especially after an asset featuring him appeared in-game back in 2021 and subsequent teases by Epic Games.
Fortnite, known for its collaborations with various franchises under the Disney umbrella including Marvel and Star Wars, recently expanded its universe with Futurama characters. This trend raises the question: Will The Simpsons be next?
Solid Snake’s entry into Fortnite, while surprising, isn’t his first venture outside the Konami universe, following his appearances in the Super Smash Bros. series.
More Than Just Characters
Aside from the arrival of these iconic characters, Fortnite is also hinting at a long-awaited Lego collaboration. Moreover, the game has teased new experiences involving driving and music, which are expected to be showcased during the Big Bang live event.
The event itself promises to be a star-studded affair, with an appearance by the renowned rapper Eminem. This blend of gaming, music, and pop culture suggests that Fortnite Chapter 5 will be a season filled with exciting content and innovative experiences.
