"Over the years, I've made it very clear that I'm not a fan of the growing trend of crossovers in video games. Sticking Master Chief in Rainbow Six Siege or jamming Godzilla into Call of Duty has always been weird and nasty to me. It feels like all of pop culture is merging into a giant grey blob. It makes me sad. Yet, I always give Fortnite a pass because, for many years now, it has been an IP playground."
"Launched on November 1, the Fortnite x Simpsons mini-season turns the entire battle royale into a Simpsons video game, something we haven't gotten in over a decade. In fact, it's been nearly 20 years since the last console-based Simpsons game and over two decades since 2005's beloved Simpsons Hit and Run. That alone makes this new Fortnite season super special. The first time I landed at Evergreen Terrace in Fortnite"
Fortnite's Simpsons mini-season, launched November 1, transforms the battle royale into an immersive Simpsons experience with a detailed Springfield map. Iconic locations like Evergreen Terrace, Moe's Bar, the Aztec Theatre, the Nuclear Power Plant, and Mr. Burns' mansion appear with show-accurate audio and environmental details. The event channels nostalgia by recreating small touches such as Bart's prank calls and a crow squawk at the power plant. The crossover revives the feeling of a modern 3D Simpsons game decades after previous console releases, blending Fortnite's IP-driven variety with faithful Simpsons worldbuilding that encourages exploration.
