Fortnite's Latest Leaks Tease Iconic Characters for Upcoming Season

Get ready for an epic crossover event in Fortnite Chapter 5: Season 1 "Underground" as leaks suggest iconic characters, Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid and Peter Griffin from Family Guy, are poised to join the battle royale. A premature ad on the Xbox Store hinted at the inclusion of these fan favorites, stirring excitement in the gaming community.

Solid Snake's classic sneaking suit is shown in the leak, indicating a potential tie-in with the release of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1. Given Fortnite's history with skins, we could also expect to see various alternate skins for Snake. On the other hand, Peter Griffin's surprise inclusion presents him in an unusual tuxedo outfit, finally making good on rumors of his arrival to the game.

Fortnite's next season has big shoes to fill after the record-breaking OG Update, which saw massive player engagement, but also follows some controversial decisions by developer Epic Games regarding age-restricted cosmetics. A live event dubbed "The Big Bang" featuring Eminem will close out Season OG on December 2, 2023, at 2pm ET.

With the massive success of previous updates and a new wave of iconic characters, Fortnite Chapter 5's launch is highly anticipated by fans eager to dive into the fresh content and witness the continued evolution of the game's expansive universe.
