We already knew that The Simpsons was collaborating with Epic Games' battle royale, but this isn't the sole place where enthusiasts can experience the universe of Springfield. The beloved show is coming over to the popular soccer-driving hybrid, introducing an vehicle customization option that will also be usable in the Fortnite universe. That said, whether players will truly desire to use it is another question, as there's only one Simpsons vehicle everyone is itching to drive, and this new offering isn't that one.

The Dream Vehicle

While many players would undoubtedly love to face off while driving The Homer—the notoriously impractical automobile the patriarch designed personally in the classic episode "the one where he meets Herb"—that's not what's being offered. We aren't even getting the massive SUV, the enormous vehicle showcased in season 10. Rather, fans will obtain the Simpsons' standard well-worn sedan, which has been in the family since the show's early days. Even though this particular car has seen better days, it stands as an iconic element of the series. And for players who analyze the game's car hitboxes, the Simpson family car uses the same hitbox as the Dominus.

Additional Themed Cosmetics

But that's not the sole customization item from the series arriving in the game. This limited-time event will additionally feature a series of objectives to unlock additional goodies, all of which are inspired by the show. According to a press release, the missions will task participants to "get as many centers and clears as there are the show's seasons, gather boost canisters as if your navigation is set to the Simpson residence, and travel a specific distance sufficient for picking up the ideal pastries!"

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

• Blinky topper
• Homer's hedge-themed banner
• Waste wheels
• 20,000 XP per challenge

Based on promotional images is a reliable guide, it seems fans will also receive rims with a TV showing the show's title sequence, Kang and Kodos topper, a frosted doughnut trail, and rocket boosts inspired by burning tires and Krusty Burger.

Event Timing and Fortnite Connection

This event coincides with the major The Simpsons invasion of Fortnite, which includes a brand-new playable area of Springfield, in addition to a 30-day seasonal progression system. This special Rocket League and Simpsons event begins on Saturday, Nov. 1 and concludes on November 17th.
