A new leak for Fornite Chapter 5: Season 1 has emerged, seemingly revealing that the main characters from Family Guy and Metal Gear Solid are coming to Epic Games‘ battle royale game.
A picture of an Xbox Store ad for the game was taken by Twitter user MGA_Lani (and shared by user Shiina), showing eight characters standing on and around a vehicle. Two of those characters are quite familiar, as Family Guy’s Peter Griffin and Metal Gear Solid’s Solid Snake are part of the group.
Peter is wearing a tuxedo and seems slightly slimmer than his usual design while Solid Snake appears to be based on his Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty design. This is the Solid Snake costume that tends to appear most frequently in media outside of the Metal Gear Solid series, including the different Super Smash Bros. games and the crossover fighting game DreamMix TV: World Fighters.
It sounds like the two characters will be part of the new season’s Battle Pass, meaning players will unlock them by playing and fulfilling objectives to progress through the pass once it’s purchased. The current season ends on Sunday, December 2, meaning the new season with these characters will likely start the day after.
What other characters came to Fortnite this year?
These wouldn’t be the first major characters to come to Fortnite in 2023, as the year has been filled with big crossovers. Members of Futurama’s Planet Express crew, main characters from the popular manga and anime series Jujutsu Kaisen and Attack on Titan, heroes and villains from the Star Wars prequels, Disney and horror icons alike, and more have all arrived in the massive multiplayer shooter in the last year.
