Fortnite is set to bring The Simpsons to life with a brand-new crossover event launching November 1, and fans are in for a nostalgic ride. According to multiple reliable leakers, including Hypex, Epic Games is preparing a fully Springfield-themed map designed in The Simpsons’ signature art style.
Springfield is one of the most recognizable towns in television history, and the crossover will reportedly capture its charm through detailed locations and familiar landmarks. While Epic Games hasn’t revealed the full map yet, the leak suggests that players will soon be able to explore the animated world like never before.
What We Know About the Springfield Map
Early reports mention Mr. Burns’ Nuclear Power Plant as one of the main points of interest, hinting that other landmarks such as the Kwik-E-Mart, Moe’s Tavern, and The Simpsons’ House could also appear. It’s not yet confirmed whether Epic is creating a faithful recreation of Springfield or a custom Fortnite layout filled with recognizable landmarks.
If accurate, this crossover could be one of Fortnite’s most ambitious collaborations yet, turning the iconic town into a playable map complete with themed cosmetics and missions.
More Halloween Collaborations for Fortnite
Fortnite’s collaboration streak continues through the Halloween season. This year’s Fortnitemares event has already introduced Scooby-Doo content on October 11, with Poppy Playtime’s Huggy Wuggy joining the game on October 23. These limited-time crossovers have kept players engaged, and the addition of The Simpsons ensures that the lineup ends on a high note.
A Perfect Tie-In for The Simpsons Movie 2
The timing of the crossover is no coincidence. The Simpsons Movie 2 was officially announced by Disney and 20th Century Fox in late September, following months of speculation. The sequel is expected to release on July 23, 2027, exactly 20 years after the first movie, which grossed over $536 million at the global box office.
With the new film in development, Epic Games’ decision to collaborate with The Simpsons seems strategically timed to reignite fan interest. The Springfield map could act as a preview of what’s to come as the animated franchise gears up for its next big chapter.
