New Skin in Fortnite Sparks Controversy Among Fans
Fortnite, the popular video game, continues to create new skins. One of the latest additions is the Gigantic Chicken character, which has sparked mixed reactions among fans. Players are divided, with some even confused about the recent skins introduced in Chapter 5 Season 1. Many gamers are unsatisfied with the appearance of the characters, while others simply do not understand the choice.
Peter Griffin, who previously appeared in the game, also stirred up controversy. Fans of the popular animated series “Family Guy” argue that the in-game version of Peter Griffin looks completely different from the original series. Similarly, there have been similar controversies surrounding the character Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series. The addition of the Gigantic Chicken has once again made Epic Games a topic of discussion among players.
Ernie, a longtime enemy of Peter Griffin, has joined him in the world of Fortnite. Now, players can purchase the Gigantic Chicken skin for 1500 V-Bucks. After three days of release, other add-ons are also available, with Ernie’s skin priced at 1500 V-Bucks, wings at 800 V-Bucks, and the Peter Griffin emote at 500 V-Bucks. There is also a bundle option that includes all three add-ons for 2000 V-Bucks.
For “Family Guy” fans, the Gigantic Chicken skin is definitely attractive. However, not everyone is pleased with the appearance of Ernie. Many wonder why Peter Griffin is depicted so differently in the game and is not a simple reflection of the character from the original series.
Peter Griffin is known for his large size and double chin in “Family Guy,” while in Fortnite, he appears muscular and fit. One Reddit comment questioned, “Why is the chicken fat, but Peter isn’t?” This post received nearly 400 comments, with many asking similar questions.
One comment highlights that Peter Griffin looks strange because his face and muscular body do not match. “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane revealed a few days after the release of the Peter Griffin skin in Fortnite that Epic Games “did not have the budget to accurately depict his true body build.”
When it comes to Ernie’s skin, not only do some fans express concerns about its appearance, but also about its vulnerability to attacks. Some players discovered the vulnerability of Ernie’s skin during gameplay. A user named Shany posted a short clip showing how easily a player in Ernie’s skin could be killed by an opponent shooting from behind a wall.
These posts garnered over 260 responses, with the majority of users agreeing that larger-sized characters are more susceptible to attacks. Some fans referred to this skin as a “losing skin,” while others simply saw it as a game flaw.
Most of the responses on Reddit and X came from players who noticed that larger-sized characters are more prone to being attacked, while others initiated discussions about introducing a standard Peter Griffin skin.
