Fortnite Update Adds Solid Snake and More

Solid Snake is now the latest character to be added to the ever-expanding Fortnite universe. The massive battle royale is known for adding skins featuring characters and icons both from gaming and pop culture. Currently, there is a Fortnite and Family Guy crossover, which is just the latest in a long line of exciting collaborations.
