Fortnite just pulled off one of its wildest stunts yet: Springfield has officially landed in the game—and it’s everything fans hoped for.
On November 1, Epic Games launched its highly anticipated Simpsons mini-season with an 11-minute live event starring everyone’s favorite alien duo, Kang and Kodos. After the chaos ended, servers went down for five hours… and came back as a cel-shaded, cartoon-perfect version of Springfield.
Welcome to Springfield Island
Forget the usual 100-player chaos. This new map hosts 80 players on a smaller, faster-paced island packed with iconic spots:
-
The Simpson house on Evergreen Terrace
-
Moe’s Tavern (Duff beer not included… yet)
-
Burns Manor, Kamp Krusty, and Springfield Nuclear Power Plant
Epic says this “back-to-basics” setup creates quicker, more intense matches—with surprise in-game events keeping things unpredictable.
New Battle Pass, New Friends
The Springfield Battle Pass brings fan-favorite skins:
-
Homer (with donut!)
-
Marge (bouffant included)
-
Ned Flanders (“Hi-diddly-ho, neighbor!”)
-
Plus fun mashups like Blinky Fishstick and Springfielder Peely
But the real surprise? Sidekicks—Fortnite’s first-ever in-game companions!
Start with Peels, a banana-shaped dog that follows you around, and later unlock Bonesy, Spike, or Lil’ Raptor (available Nov. 7). Unlike old “pet” back blings, Sidekicks stay with you permanently once customized.
Fans Are Loving It
Streamers and players are buzzing. Ninja called it “incredible” live on stream. Social media is flooded with praise like “coolest collab ever!”—especially for the return of full voice acting, straight from The Simpsons cast.
More Than Just a Skin Drop
This isn’t just a cosmetic splash. Epic and Simpsons creator Gracie Films are releasing four original animated shorts, starting with “Apocalypse D’Oh” on Nov. 1 (then Nov. 10, 17, and 24). You can watch them on Disney+ or inside Fortnite’s quest tab.
And don’t miss the Kang and Kodos Glider—just link your Epic and Disney accounts by February 28, 2026 to unlock it.
Even Lego Fortnite and Rocket League are getting Simpsons items, proving this is Epic’s biggest crossover yet.
So grab your Duff, dodge Homer’s couch, and drop into Springfield—before Kang and Kodos decide Earth is worth conquering.
