Everything We Know About Fortnite X Simpsons

What’s coming with the Fortnite X Simpsons mini-season? Thanks to leakers, we’ve known a Fortnite Simpsons collab was the next season up for a while. However, its content is still more of a mystery. We don’t even know what map is going to be used for certain. But, looking through reports from dataminers and leakers, we have some ideas about what’s coming for Fortnite X Simpsons.

The current Fortnite season ends in November. But afterwards, we’ll get a full-on Collab season! Running for only a month, but being a total Simpsons take over. Bringing one of the most requested franchises to the game. We can assume a few key skins are coming. But what else will hit the game with this next mini-season?

Fortnite Simpsons Mini Season Coming

These Fortnite Simpsons leaks have been going on for a while now and it’s currently looking very likely to happen. The next Fortnite season is going to be a Simpsons crossover.

These leaks fit our current model for Fortnite Chapters. Four seasons, then a mini one, then a new map launching over the holidays. This year, it’s not a flashback mini season though. Instead, we’re getting a Fortnite Simpsons collab.

The return of OG permanently has kind of taken the appeal out of the flashbacks mini-seasons. Although, Chapter 2 still had a lot to offer, and Chapter 3 is an underrated part of Fortnite’s history. Still, a Simpsons mini season will be completely new.

It’ll be a month-long season. Similar to the Galactic Battle one we got earlier this year, or Fortnite Remix in the past. But this time it’s another fully fledged collab. The Galactic Battle mini season wasn’t exactly this Chapter’s highlight, but Simpsons might go a bit differently. It’s a much more requested collab. Plus, Star Wars happens every year so it didn’t exactly have any novelty factor left for Fortnite players unless they’d started playing about a week before it hit.

We do know some features that are planned thanks to Fortnite leakers. But there are quite a few unknowns still. This is what we know about the Fortnite Simpsons season that’s coming:

Map Changes

The big mystery with the Fortnite Simpsons season is the map. For the last two years, we’ve left the current Chapter’s map after only four seasons. Chapter 6’s map has now had four and a mini season, so it could be leaving us in November.

Although, what would replace it? Or the last two years we’ve gone back to old maps. This would be trickier with a Fortnite Simpsons season. Will it be the current map with a ton of Simpsons references layered over it, or an old map with new Simpsons features? We could even see a special map just for the mini season, but that would be a lot to waste on a four-week period alone.

At the moment, leakers have a theory about the map. Since the Map discovery quests for the current island end when the current season does, it looks like it’ll be done then. Which could mean an entire Simpsons map for just four weeks.

In terms of POIs, we have a lot more ideas for Fortnite X Simpsons. There’s the Power Plant, Evergreen Terrace, Krusty burger. We could easily see these POIs resembling Steamy Stacks, neighbourhoods like Salty Springs, and Durr Burger.

There wouldn’t be a shortage of content to use for map changes. Moe’s Bar, even more niche references like the Stonecutters headquarters. These designs might even help bring back some of that more cartoony vibrant art style that fans have been missing in the last few Chapters.

Weapons and Items in Fortnite X Simpsons

While there’s tons of choice for POIs, weapons are a bit more limited. The Simpsons isn’t exactly a show where players are toting guns at all times. However, we have some ideas. Fortnite leakers have said swarm jars are returning as bees. A throwable item that sets a bunch of angry insects on enemies. This could be a homage to the Smithers bee stings scene.

Then there’s one-off weapons used in the Simpsons, the Make Up Gun, Scorpio’s flamethrower. There’s potential here. It’ll be harder to get Simpsons versions of the staples like Tac and Pump shotguns, but we’re sure they’ll find a Creative solution.

Heals on the other hand will be much easier to line up with the theme. Simpsons donuts, Buzz cola, Duff, there’s tons of items we could see replacing the healing items and being some of the best Fortnite items for the mini season.

Skins

Like POIs, skins are an area where we have a good idea of what’s coming! At least, it’s pretty much certain we’ll get a Homer skin. Then there’s about a million different styles, emotes, and more that could be included. Even multiple vehicle skins that would be recognizable to most players.

Bart, Lisa, and other child characters will be tougher. In the past, Epic’s used mechs or other features to get smaller characters into the game. But the Simpsons children toting shotguns might cause problems for the licence holders. We can expect some of the grown-up characters though. Krusty would be a good fit. There are tons that can be mined for skins even just focusing on the roughly ten-year well-remembered period of the Simpsons, instead of the underwhelming subsequent two and a half decades.

The big question is if Epic does their original skins again. Lately, crossover seasons have featured these remix Fortnite collab skins. A Fortnite character crossed over with the collab, not just the characters from the property itself. We could see some of these in the Pass, and some of the bigger Simpsons characters only in the Item Shop.

When Does it Release?

We’ll learn more about the Fortnite Simpsons mini season as we get closer to its release. It’s going to be the next season, running for just a month. Starting off on November 1st. Not too long to wait until we get more details of this collab confirmed.
