Why is Family Guy main character Peter Griffin muscular in Fortnite?

Ana sayfa / Games

The latest addition to Fortnite’s character roster has raised eyebrows among fans of the animated series Family Guy, as Peter Griffin has appeared in the game not in his usual chubby form, but in a strangely beefed-up version. Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy and the voice behind Peter Griffin, shed light on this bizarre character change.

In a video interview with IGN on January 11th, MacFarlane explained that his decision to portray Peter Griffin as a muscle-bound character in Fortnite was not a creative choice related to the game’s story, as the released video suggests.

MacFarlane instead claimed that Epic Games “didn’t have the budget to create Peter Griffin’s real body”. It remains unclear whether this statement was made in jest, but MacFarlane’s tone suggests a real explanation.

As Fortnite is known for its massive success and lucrative in-game purchases, this bizarre situation raises questions about the financial aspects of game development. It seems implausible that a game as big as Fortnite would face budget constraints, leading to speculation about the nature of the limitations MacFarlane is referring to.

It’s possible that Epic Games faced difficulties allocating resources for character design or adhering to in-game performance budgets.

MacFarlane admitted during the interview that he was unfamiliar with Fortnite and had to get an explanation from someone else, citing the example of a TV Guide cover featuring Oprah’s face on another woman’s body, reminiscent of the cutaway jokes often seen on Family Guy.

According to MacFarlane, the muscular version of Peter Griffin in Fortnite is the result of the game developer’s budget constraints. Do you think this is true? Please don’t forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments.
