In the fast-paced world of Fortnite, players are now used to having many collaborations with popular franchises. These collaborations not only keep the gameplay experience fresh, but also attract more players to the game.
However, players are disappointed about a seemingly scrapped idea for a collaboration with Family Guy, which included various cosmetics. Now, the community is saying this might be one of the biggest missed opportunities from the developers.
The Gaming Community Is Disappointed Over Scrapped Collaboration in Fortnite
Family Guy has been a cultural phenomenon for a long time. The show is known for its humor, unique yet memorable characters, and various takes on modern society. With a huge dedicated fan base, the potential for any collaboration cosmetics was immense.
Fortnite already has a Peter Griffin (the show’s main character) Avatar in the game, so missing out on more cosmetics seems like a missed opportunity.
After an original leak from HYPEX (now a deleted tweet), the Fortnite community has seen the leaked images and is now expressing huge disappointment at the news.
The community has engaged in a discussion and felt that the integration of such cosmetics could have attracted more interest in both the game and the show, potentially increasing player engagement.

Others are hopeful these cosmetics will be added in the future, even if we are not getting them now.

In a now-deleted tweet from HYPEX, some players commented and expressed that these cosmetics look better than the already existing ones.
These look better than what we got tbh

After seeing these leaked images, players felt they lost a huge opportunity to get more great cosmetics to use in the game. This shows that with the speculated scrapped collaboration, players already envisioned themselves using a more enjoyable cosmetic and this would have brought a more dynamic gameplay experience.
Epic Games’ Future Collaborations: What’s Next?
At this point, every Fortnite player knows that the developers of the game are active in finding new ways to surprise them and push the boundaries with each collaboration. Even though many feel that they will miss Family Guy cosmetics in the game, it is known that the title will undoubtedly continue to thrive and find new partnerships in the future.
As players continue to drop out from the bus to become the last person standing, the untapped potential of bringing more humor with new cosmetics of the show is a missed opportunity nonetheless. However, Epic Games has previously shown that they can revisit scrapped ideas in the future so players have some hope.
In the end, players can only imagine what new wild collaboration will bring in unforgettable moments in Fortnite, that will leave them surprised and happy.
