These revelations were accompanied by a leaked Fortnite “Disney – IP Development” timeline, which offers interesting insights into Epic Games’ development processes and timelines.
According to the timeline, characters such as Family Guy's Peter Griffin and Die Hard's John McClane were originally set to debut during Chapter Two, season five, which premiered in December 2020. Those plans were postponed for unknown reasons, but the Family Guy integration eventually happened three years later, in December 2023.
The leaks also highlight the evolution of character designs over time in the Family Guy collaboration. For example, Peter Griffin’s in-game model underwent significant changes, with developers opting for a more muscular look than his original concept. While exact release dates for the new Disney collaborations remain unknown, the extended development period of over three years suggests they may not be far off.
