Epic has sent out a survey to Fortnite players asking them about their interest in certain crossover characters, including Peter Griffin, Goku, and Geralt of Rivia.
Prominent Fortnite insider and leaker ShiinaBR posted the list of possible characters, saying, "Yesterday, Epic sent me a survey in my emails asking for my opinion on many characters/people/franchises. I'll just post some of the most interesting ones here! Remember that Guggimon (Season 7 BP) was also in one of these surveys before he came into the game!"
The list spans several different categories including anime, movies, games, influencers and musical artists. There are some not-so-surprising choices like characters from The Matrix or influencers like Dr Lupo, and then there are some really strange choices like How I Met Your Mother and a slew of Nintendo characters, despite Nintendo not having anyone in the game so far.
Strangely, there are some characters on the list that have already been included in the game, such as Lara Croft, Harley Quinn, Batman, and Kratos. This hints that the survey might be based on old data and choices, or it could simply mean that Epic was measuring the reaction to characters who were already in the game.
There are several inclusions that correlate with files released during the Epic vs. Apple court trial earlier in the year, including Naruto, who was previously mentioned to be in discussion to come to the game. Another interesting choice is Family Guy - which presumably refers to Peter Griffin - which has already been referenced in the game through an emote that shows Peter in an edited version of the chicken fight.
It's worth noting that these characters surveys don't necessarily confirm any of the names mentioned. Epic sends surveys out like this quite often to gauge interest in possible crossovers. As Shiina said, Guggimon was on a previous survey before coming into the game, so they can be taken as little hints at what might be coming to the game.
