We already knew that The Simpsons was teaming up with Fortnite, but that's not the only destination where fans can experience the world of Springfield. The beloved show is coming over to the popular soccer-driving hybrid, introducing an in-game car skin that will also be compatible in Fortnite. That said, whether players will actually want to equip it is a different matter, as there's only one Simpsons car everyone is eager to get behind the wheel of, and this new offering isn't that one.

What Fans Really Want

Although most players would absolutely enjoy to face off behind the wheel of Homer's custom creation—the notoriously impractical automobile Homer designed personally in the 1991 episode "the one where he meets Herb"—that's not what players are receiving. We aren't even getting the massive SUV, the heavy-duty truck featured in the tenth season. Rather, players will obtain the family's standard well-worn four-door, which they've been driving since 1989. Even though this specific vehicle has seen better days, it remains an iconic element of the series. And for players who analyze the game's car hitboxes, the trusty sedan shares the identical collision model as the Dominus.

Additional Themed Cosmetics

And it's not the only cosmetic from the show arriving in the game. The event will also include a set of objectives to earn more goodies, all of which are Simpsons-themed. According to a press release, the challenges will require participants to "achieve a certain number of centers and clears as there are the show's years on air, gather boost canisters as if your navigation is set to The Simpsons’ residence, and drive a distance worthy of picking up the perfect donuts!"

While the full lineup of earnable items isn't yet disclosed, here is what's been announced up to this point:

• Blinky topper
• Homer's Hedges player banner
• Garbage-themed wheels
• 20,000 experience points for each challenge

Based on promotional images is any indication, it appears players will also get rims featuring a television showing the show's title sequence, alien antenna toppers, a frosted doughnut trail, and rocket boosts themed to smoldering rubber and Krusty's famous restaurant.

Event Timing and Fortnite Connection

This event lines up with the extensive The Simpsons takeover of Fortnite, which includes a completely new map of the fictional town, as well as a month-long Battle Pass. The Rocket League x The Simpsons celebration launches on Saturday, Nov. 1 and ends on Nov. 17.
