It was previously announced that The Simpsons was collaborating with Fortnite, but that's not the only destination where fans can immerse themselves in the universe of Springfield. The long-running series is coming over to the popular soccer-driving hybrid, bringing along an vehicle customization option that will also be compatible in the Fortnite universe. However, if gamers will truly desire to use it is a different matter, as there's only one Simpsons vehicle the community is eager to drive, and this isn't it.

What Fans Really Want

While many gamers would absolutely enjoy to face off behind the wheel of Homer's custom creation—the notoriously impractical automobile Homer designed himself in the classic episode "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"—regrettably, that isn't what players are receiving. We aren't even receiving the massive SUV, the enormous truck showcased in the tenth season. Rather, fans are getting the family's everyday beat-up sedan, which they've been driving since 1989. Even though this specific vehicle has accumulated plenty of miles, it stands as an recognizable element of the show. For those who analyze the game's car hitboxes, the trusty sedan shares the identical collision model as the Dominus.

More Than Just a Car

And it's not the only cosmetic from the show arriving in the game. This limited-time event will additionally feature a series of objectives to earn additional rewards, all of which are inspired by the show. As detailed in a press release, the missions will task participants to "get as many centers and clears as there are The Simpsons years on air, collect boost pickups as if your navigation is set to the Simpson house, and travel a specific distance sufficient for picking up the perfect donuts!"

While the full lineup of earnable items hasn't been revealed, here is what's been announced so far:

• Blinky antenna topper
• Homer's Hedges player banner
• Waste wheels
• 20,000 XP per challenge

Based on promotional images is any indication, it seems fans will also get rims with a television showing the show's opening credits, alien antenna toppers, a frosted doughnut trail, and boost effects themed to burning tires and Krusty Burger.

Launch Dates and Crossover Details

This event coincides with the major Simpsons invasion of Fortnite's island, which includes a brand-new map of the fictional town, as well as a month-long seasonal progression system. The Rocket League x The Simpsons celebration begins on November 1st and ends on November 17th.
