Highlights

  • Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 battle pass may feature two crossover characters: Solid Snake from Metal Gear and Peter Griffin from Family Guy.
  • The leaks have yet to be confirmed, so they should be treated as unconfirmed until an official post is made by Epic Games.
  • Fortnite is known for its crossovers with various forms of entertainment, including previous collaborations with Lara Croft, Kratos, Marvel superheroes, and Rick and Morty.

Details of the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 battle pass have seemingly leaked ahead of an official reveal, revealing two new crossover characters that are set to join the popular battle royale game. Fortnite has seen a boom in popularity thanks to the current Fortnite OG chapter, which sees players returning to the very first map of the game.

The OG chapter is set to end on December 2, and by all accounts, Fortnite might be preparing to remove the original island when the next chapter launches. As the clock counts down to the next season, players may have had a glimpse of what to expect from the Chapter 5 Season 1 battle pass.

LEGO Teases Fortnite Crossover Event

The LEGO Group teases a potential Fortnite crossover with a post of familiar animal that has been designed entirely out of LEGO bricks.

Popular Fortnite streamer Ali-A has posted a screenshot to Twitter showing the possible banner image Epic Games will be using for Chapter 5 Season 1. The season is reportedly titled Underground and will feature Solid Snake from the Metal Gear series, as well as Family Guy’s loveable father, Peter Griffin, as part of the game’s battle pass.

Fortnite is no stranger to crossovers from multiple forms of entertainment, with Lara Croft, Kratos, and various Marvel superheroes having joined the battle royale in previous years. Peter Griffin won’t be the first iconic cartoon character to enter the fight, as last year saw Rick and Morty open a portal into Fortnite in celebration of the annual Halloween event.

It is worth noting that the picture posted by Ali-A has yet to be confirmed by Epic, so it should be treated as unconfirmed until an official post is made. That said, Fortnite has had several high-profile leaks during the OG Chapter, including fans finding data that showed Eminem will be heading to Fortnite as the chapter draws to a close. The legendary rapper was later confirmed to be heading to the game as part of The Big Bang event, which is the final event for Fortnite’s OG Season beginning on December 2, 2 PM ET.

Not much is known about the event, except that Epic has said it is using the Big Bang event as an opportunity to redefine Fortnite’s future. Many theorize that the launch of Chapter 5 could be the point when the Lego x Fortnite crossover makes its appearance. Whatever the case, if the leaks about Peter Griffin and Solid Snake’s inclusion are accurate, then players will have a lot to look forward to as Fortnite enters its seventh year.
