Fortnite has vaulted all of Chapter 5, Season 2's Mythicals until May 3, which means you won't be able to use the Wings of Icarus, Thunderbolt of Zeus, and Chains of Hades for nearly a whole month.

In, players can combine different elements to create Peter Griffin, the main character of Seth MacFarlane’s comedy sitcom Neal Agarwal’s browser game is an endless crafting simulator, challenging players to combine basic elements such as Water and Fire to create a practically infinite library of new, more complex elements. is just one of the many pop culture franchises featured in-game.

Fortnite, one of the biggest third-person shooters in, well, ever, could be about to become one of the biggest first-person shooters ever. Epic have revealed that a first-person camera mode is headed to their ridiculously popular battle royale game later in 2024, letting you blast Peter Griffin, Solid Snake's flat butt and other pop-culture icons up-close.

After weeks of rumours and leaks, Epic has confirmed that Midas, one of the most popular original characters who hasn't been seen since Chapter 2, Season 2, is returning to Fortnite next week.

Fortnite has continued to build upon its lore in recent years, introducing a full set of goodies and baddies for players to pit against one another in the toybox battle royale.

After less than 24 hours since the launch of Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 2, Epic has already nerfed the update's big new item, the Wings of Icarus, to be less powerful.

Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 2's launch has been delayed by another five hours due to server maintenance, after having previously been pushed back by eight hours earlier in the day.

An all-new season of Fortnite launches today, and although many of us have our sights set on the incredible Greek god-themed weapons and skins, a large group of sleuths have been busy trying to solve a mystery introduced by one of the season's trailers. 

Fortnite's Chapter 5, Season 2 (nicknamed Myths and Mortals) map has been revealed, giving us a good idea of where we're all going to be dropping for the next few months.

Fortnite Festival is getting new tracks, and it's great news for anyone who grew up in the 2000s. Eight new tracks will be added to the game this Thursday, including hits from Paramore, Disturbed, Panic! at the Disco, and more.

Two more characters are coming to Fortnite, as a trailer has revealed an exciting new event for the battle royale game.

A recent LEGO Fortnite leak reveals a load of content, including new enemies and tools, that will allegedly be added in the future. As part of its partnership with LEGO, Fortnite has brought a permanent mode that focuses on survival and crafting rather than gunfighting. It has a similar gameplaywise to Minecraft, requiring players to collect natural resources, establish a base, and craft weapons to survive generic enemies. As in Mojang's blocky sandbox game, players can build virtually anything in LEGO Fortnite using its construction mechanics.

Fortnite may be in talks for its next indie game collaboration, with recent rumors suggesting that the mega-popular battle royale will be crossing over with The Binding of Isaac. Throughout the life of the Epic Games battle royale, the beloved shooter has become known for its plethora of crossover content with many of the biggest media franchises. Epic Games would recently introduce Family Guy's Peter Griffin to Fortnite after years of speculation, while also teaming up with anime like Jujutsu Kaisen and Naruto. Now, one of the game's next crossovers might have been teased.

Everyone's favourite stealthy video game protagonist Solid Snake has now joined the ever-growing world of Fortnite. The battle royale crossovers continue with force in Chapter 5, with Metal Gear now getting in on the action, following the likes of Peter Griffin from Family Guy and US rapper Eminem.

Solid Snake from the Metal Gear franchise is now available in Fortnite.

Only one true Solid Snake variant is set to be added as part of the Fortnite x Metal Gear crossover. Old Snake can be earned, who fans will know primarily appears in Metal Gear Solid 4 . There are small variants in that you can add Snake's binoculars, or keep them off, but that's pretty much it for now.

It’s almost easier to name all the franchises that haven’t had a Fortnite crossover at this point.

Epic Games did not have the budget to create an authentic version of the Peter Griffin Fortnite skin, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has revealed. His insight into this curious crossover arrives weeks after Peter Griffin debuted in Fortnite as part of the Chapter 5: Season 1 Battle Pass.

Fortnite finally has Peter Griffin from Family Guy, but a major collab that players still want is SpongeBob SquarePants. If Epic Games ever commit to a SpongeBob collab, I hope it would look half as good as AustinTheBear’s fan-made design.

Fortnite finally welcomed Family Guy's Peter Griffin to the island last month, following a bunch of leaks and rumors. His arrival was extremely well-received by fans, though Peter Griffin was a lot buffer than what fans of the show were expecting, rocking a body that would make your average gym-goer blush. Fortnite explained this away in a cute video near release that featured Peter Griffin downing some expired Slurp Juice after asking Meowscles how to get swole before his introduction.

Seth MacFarlane has revealed why Epic Games included Family Guy’s Peter Griffin in Fortnite with a more muscular body than fans are used to.

Family Guy's creator has claimed Epic Games "didn't have the budget" to replicate Peter Griffin's actual body in Fortnite.

Fortnite players think that one of Chapter 5's new gameplay mechanics, the Medallions you get from defeating bosses, aren't even worth the trouble of picking up.

Vaults in Fortnite have always been a great way to get access to copious amounts of weapons, ammo, and loot. Now, if only they were out in the open.

The head of Harmonix, the studio behind Fortnite Festival, has confirmed that it plans to add "many hundreds" of free new songs to the mode every year.

Fortnite fans are calling for Epic Games to give the infamous Goku skin a long-awaited redesign, especially since the rest of the game's anime skins look so great.

Epic Games just sent out the latest Fortnite player survey and it hints at possible collaborations with some highly-requested series like Five Nights at Freddy's, The Boys, and even some Nintendo properties.

Lego Fortnite has confirmed that the highly-requested steering wheel piece is coming to the game in the future, which should allow players to move the vehicles and structures they create.

Fortnite is the surprise hit of the winter gaming season. Although the battle royale game has maintained popularity for several years, it’s now seeing yet another massive surge in interest. Last week, Epic Games released several new modes that bring entirely different kinds of games to Fortnite. Among the additions is a rhythm game called Fortnite Festival. In it, players can form bands with others while playing as Fortnite characters. Now, players are using it to create the most absurd bands possible and share clips online as characters like Goku, Peter Griffin, Kratos, and Gojo hit the stage.

Fortniteis known for having an impressive roster, with characters from all across TV and video games. It's one of the competitive shooter's best-known characteristics. 

Fortnite Festival — the game's new rhythm-based mode developed by Rock Band studio Harmonix — will let you use your plastic guitars and drums in the future.

Wanting a piece of the Minecraft pie, Epic has teamed up with some iconic Danish toymakers to create their own flavour of a blocky open-world survival game and to help you jump in, we’ve got how to play LEGO Fortnite and if it is a separate game explained.

Fortnite’s long-awaited Chapter 5 will revamp the release’s traversal gameplay, while adding some headline new features, including a train and the ability to customise your weapon. All of this has been teased as part of a new trailer, which also shows off some previously leaked Battle Pass skins, including Solid Snake and Peter Griffin.

Gone are the days of scrounging up loot at dilapidated taco joints and rusty playgrounds in Fortnite. Epic Games released a massive new update to the battle royale game this week as part of Chapter 5 Season 1. The patch literally blew up the OG map with a meteor, replacing it with an entirely new, much fancier map. Instead of rough locales like Greasy Groves or Tomato Temple, players now explore palatial manors like Lavish Lair or the manicured vineyards of Pleasant Piazza. Fortnite is basically a fancy European vacation now, and it feels a bit outside my personal budget.

Epic Games wasn't resting on its laurels, it would seem, as following on from the dizzying heights of Fortnite OG, it has given us what we all wanted and put Peter Griffin in Fortnite — and we’ve got where to find him and how to get the skin explained.

Fortnite's big Chapter 5 update has strangely made a lot of its characters look a lot angrier, as it's removed smiling faces for anyone with default animations.

Fortnite's latest event has brought the likes of Peter Griffin and Metal Gear's legendary solider Snake to the island for the first time. Most of the changes have been received pretty well, apart from the animation tweaks that a fan doxxed a developer over, but there is one certain feature that Metal Gear fans in particular are up in arms over. Snake has been thoroughly de-caked once again.

Epic Games has changed the speed of Fortnite's storm circles following player feedback.

In Chapter 5 Season 1 players can track down NPC Characters to trade for useful items and perks. A total of eight NPCs can be found scattered across the new island, and players can trade with them using Gold Bars, a currency that’s earned from defeating enemies, opening chests, and more. Trading with NPCs can give you a valuable edge in combat and exploration.

With Fortnite Chapter 5: Season 1 the game has embarked on a subterranean adventure! It has ushered this following The Big Bang event that reshaped the Chapter 4 island. Branded as "Underground," this season introduces a myriad of changes, including a revamped island, novel gameplay elements like boss battles, LEGO-themed skins, and the inclusion of iconic characters such as Metal Gear's Solid Snake and Family Guy's Peter Griffin. The Fortnite Chapter 5: Season 1 update completely overhauls the battle royale landscape, introducing new locations like a functional railway with a travel-worthy train, marinas, mansions, and a fresh grassland area. Snow blankets certain areas, providing an immersive environmental shift.

Over the weekend, Epic Games made memes a reality by adding Family Guy family guy Peter Griffin to the all-consuming Fortnite universe.

Fortnite finally releases its highly-anticipated Chapter 5 Season 1, adding a wave of new in-game content, along with new mechanics. Here is a quick recap of what to expect.

Fortnite just dropped their 28th season, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1. And, I’m telling you, it’s epic! With new maps, tools, and passes, the season will run from December 3rd, 2023 till March 8th, 2024.

Fortnite's weaponry has just seen an interesting revamp that changes how the battle royale phenomenon plays, and it's all to do with weapon cases.

Last weekend Season OG of Fortnite came to an end, and a new era of the game was ushered in with the start of Season 5 Episode One.

Fortnite's newest update is huge, finally bringing Peter Griffin to the Battle Royale alongside Solid Snake, with quality-of-life improvements such as being able to move while chugging, and an entire LEGO mode. Like I said, huge. But alongside all the notable improvements are new animations that are proving incredibly unpopular so far.

Family Guy is now in Fortnite as part of Chapter 5. In an attempt to explain his latest glow-up, Fortnite itself has created a short that will haunt my nightmares.

Epic Games is about to add 1200 Lego versions of some iconic skins into Fortnite ahead of an exciting new collaboration with the brick-building franchise. 

The page has turned on another chapter of Fortnite Battle Royale, with Chapter 5 Season 1 beginning today after the conclusion of the game's hugely successful 2018 throwback season. The new season brought not only a new map and weapons, but also a somewhat contentious revamp of the game's movement animations. I'm just stuck on the Peter Griffin boss fight, though.

Everybody knows that the bird is the word.

Even better, the chaotic sitcom dad entered the game with a short film that’s animated in the style of the show.

Fortnite’s devouring of all pop culture into its gigantic maw continues apace, as leaks suggest that next on the menu for the IP-gobbling battle royale shooter is Metal Gear Solid’s Solid Snake and Family Guy’s Peter Griffin. (Don’t worry, The Maw is safe from the maw, for now.)

The upcoming season will also supposedly be called Underground.

After years of rumor, speculation, and seasonal disappointment, Family Guy’s Peter Griffin may finally be coming to Fortnite with Chapter 5 season 1. An unconfirmed leaked image of the battle royale game’s next season shows a (buff) Peter Griffin standing alongside Fortnite’s usual cast of sleek super spies and anthropomorphic animals. Oh, and Solid Snake.
