We already knew that the iconic animated series was teaming up with Fortnite, but that's not the only destination where enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the universe of Springfield. The long-running series is also making its way to the popular soccer-driving hybrid, introducing an vehicle customization option that will also be compatible in Fortnite. That said, whether players will truly desire to use it is another question, as there's only one Springfield car everyone is eager to drive, and this isn't it.

What Fans Really Want

While many players would absolutely enjoy to face off behind the wheel of Homer's custom creation—the famously flawed automobile Homer designed personally in the classic installment "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"—that's not what's being offered. We aren't even getting the Canyonero, the enormous vehicle featured in season 10. Rather, players will obtain the Simpsons' everyday well-worn sedan, which has been in the family since the show's early days. Though this specific vehicle has accumulated plenty of miles, it stands as an recognizable symbol of the series. And for players who pay attention to Rocket League 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 Rocket League. The event will additionally feature a set of objectives to unlock more rewards, all of which are inspired by the show. According to a official announcement, the missions will task participants to "get as many centers and clears as there are The Simpsons seasons, collect boost pickups as if your navigation is set to the Simpson house, and drive a distance worthy of picking up the ideal pastries!"

Although the full lineup of earnable items hasn't been disclosed, here is what has been confirmed up to this point:

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

If the key art is any indication, it appears fans will also get rims featuring a television displaying the show's title sequence, alien antenna toppers, a frosted doughnut trail, and boost effects inspired by burning tires and Krusty's famous restaurant.

Event Timing and Fortnite Connection

The Rocket League collaboration coincides with the major The Simpsons takeover of Fortnite's island, which brings a brand-new playable area of the fictional town, in addition to a month-long Battle Pass. This special Rocket League and Simpsons celebration launches on November 1st and ends on November 17th.
