The character was recently introduced to the world of Fortnite, but with a peculiar twist. The creators transformed him into a buff version of Peter Griffin, raising eyebrows among the fan base. The reason behind this transformation has now been revealed by none other than the voice actor and series creator, Seth MacFarlane.
Why the Change?
Last month, Epic's well-known battle royale game Fortnite concluded its original season and started a new one. As part of this fresh season, Peter Griffin joined the game as both a playable skin and an in-game boss.
However, the character's appearance in Fortnite is quite different from the TV show. In the game's lore, Peter Griffin gains his muscular physique by persuading Meowscles, a cat/human hybrid character in Fortnite, to give him some expired slurp juice. This bizarre scenario is part of the game's reality.
The Real Reason Behind the Transformation
During a video interview with IGN, MacFarlane revealed the actual reason for the change in Peter Griffin's appearance. According to him, Epic "didn't have the budget to create his actual body."
This explanation raises questions about whether MacFarlane was joking or if he misunderstood Epic's statement. It's possible that Epic was referring to the game's performance budget or that resources for skins in the update were limited. An accurate Peter Griffin might also be too large a target and unbalanced for the PvP modes in Fortnite.
MacFarlane's Humorous Interview
During the interview, MacFarlane humorously compared the situation to a TV Guide cover featuring Oprah's face on another woman's body. After a pause, he ended the conversation with a chuckle, asking, "Anybody remember that?"
In conclusion, it seems that Epic's budget constraints are to blame for Peter Griffin's muscular appearance in Fortnite.
