Get ready to head back to Springfield. The key art for the upcoming Fortnite x The Simpsons season has been revealed!
Are you ready for the Fortnite x The Simpsons season? With the current bug invasion season now reaching its crescendo, Epic Games has begun teasing the long-awaited new season, and it promises to be a banger. We’ve known for a while that a map dedicated to The Simpsons was locked in for the end of 2025. But with the current season ending on November 1st, the key art for the new season has been discovered.
Regular leaker Shiina has posted the glorious loading screen art from the new season, discovered in the data files. It reveals the new Springfield-inspired map and the new characters who will feature in the Battle Pass. The art shows that Bart and Lisa Simpson will be joining the battle in mech-suits, which bypasses the scaling issue. Homer and Marge will also be included, as well as Moe, Krusty the Clown, and Ned Flanders. Itchy and Scratchy are also teased, but are unconfirmed at this point, although Scratchy is featured in the artwork. Get your first look below.
BATTLE PASS
In addition to the key art, the Battle Pass skin lineup has been revealed. As expected, Homer, Marge, and Ned Flanders are all headlining the new pass. However, in the traditional fashion, Epic Games is throwing in a bunch of its characters into the mix for the remix treatment. This has divided the playerbase, with some bemoaning that the pass isn’t dedicated exclusively to legitimate Springfield characters. But this is Fortnite we’re talking about. Even the recent Star Wars season wasn’t immune to the remix treatment, with woeful remix skins handed out to Apprentice Evie and a Wookiee Team Leader.
The Simpsons Battle Pass is no different. The collection of skins includes a remix version of Peely, redesigned in the classic The Simpsons animation style, and a three-eyed version of Fishstick.
ITEM SHOP DROPS
Bart and Lisa Simpson, Moe, Krusty, Scratchy, and the rumored Mr Burns skins are all expected to be in the item shop releases. So players will have to start saving their V-Bucks accordingly, which is a tough ask after the massive Fortnitemares season collaborations. In recent weeks, The Grabber, Jason Voorhees, Art the Clown, Ghost Face, Scooby-Doo, and Wednesday Addams have all been released, costing a small fortune. So, players will be bracing themselves for another costly release.
RELEASE
Of course, until Epic Games reveals the Battle Pass in full, this is all just speculation. But the leakers are rarely wrong, so brace yourself for another massive season. With the entire map being transformed into Springfield for the season, Epic Games could make this collaboration one of the biggest to date. So we could be in line for a massive character drop, and there is a treasure trove of characters to choose from. Could Principal Skinner or Chief Wiggum be joining the map? Is there room for Comicbook Guy to yell, “Worst game ever?” All will be revealed soon.
Check back often for the latest updates as they come. In the meantime, prepare to return to Springfield for a meeting with The Simpsons.
The Fortnite x The Simpsons season gets underway on November 2nd. D’oh! Happy gaming!
