Epic Games and Matt Groening have collaborated on some glorious new POIs and Loading Screens for the Fortnite x The Simpsons season.
It’s official! The new Fortnite x The Simpsons season is underway, and it’s a banger. The official launch trailer was a sensation. Featuring our beloved Simpson family, it opened up a world of yellow-skinned possibilities for players to enjoy. Now that the new season is officially underway, the map has transformed into an exciting mashup. What’s more, Epic Games has released some new background wallpapers featuring all the points of interest (POIs) in Springfield.
These stunning desktop wallpapers immerse us in the heart of Springfield and offer a glimpse of the fantastic locations where we can expect to fight for supremacy. From Evergreen Terrace to Moe’s Tavern, the hotspots of Springfield are highlighted for players to enjoy. So, get ready for an epic showdown on the streets of Springfield and check out the POI wallpapers below.
NEW SPRINGFIELD POIS
NEW LOADING SCREENS
Of course, no Battle Pass worth its salt comes without some incredible new loading screens for players to use, and the Fortnite x The Simpsons season is no exception. Epic Games and Matt Groening have collaborated on a bunch of incredible new pieces of art to tantalize every Simpsons fan. From Homer chasing Ned Flanders down the street in Marge’s car to Marge, in witch form, chasing Bart and Lisa through the graveyard, there is a treasure trove of artwork to enjoy. Check them out below.
LOBBY BACKGROUND SCREEN
And finally, Epic Games has also shared the season’s Lobby artwork. As one might expect, it is dedicated to The Simpsons’ beloved home on Evergreen Terrace, so players can look forward to spending time in Homer’s front yard before setting off for battle. Take a look below.
RELEASE
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. After the awesome Battle Pass lineup, 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. Until then, check out the full “Welcome, Our Alien Overlords” animated feature below.
Check back often for the latest updates as they come. In the meantime, head back to Springfield for a meeting with The Simpsons.
The Fortnite x The Simpsons season is underway now. D’oh! Happy gaming!
