Springfield invades Fortnite as a new season dawns!

November 1, 2025 – Get ready, Fortnite fans! The highly anticipated collaboration between Fortnite and The Simpsons is set to kick off today, November 1st, with a live event titled “Welcome, Our Alien Overlords.” This mini-event, starting at 11 AM ET, will usher in a new season packed with Springfield flavor, including a new map, Simpsons-themed skins, weapons, and a brand-new Battle Pass.

Developer Epic Games is urging players to log in early, at least half an hour before the start time, to secure their spot in the pre-event lobby. The event is expected to last around 20 minutes and feature iconic Simpsons characters Kang and Kodos, with a countdown clock currently visible near Bart’s Treehouse in the Creepy Camps area of the map.

Following the live event, Fortnite will go into downtime to prepare for the full launch of The Simpsons season. Preloads for the update are already available on PS5 and Xbox, with a file size of approximately 35GB.

Teasers have revealed glimpses of what to expect, including a new map, Sidekicks, a Maggie shopping cart Glider, and a Krusty balloon gun. The Fortnite X account has also been teasing fans with images of Jonesy and Hope rendered in the classic Simpsons art style. In addition, The Simpsons has announced a Rocket League collaboration for November 1, hinting at further integration within the Epic Games ecosystem.
