"Rumors have swirled for weeks now that the next Fortnite season would be a mini-season themed around Fox's long-running animated series The Simpsons. Now we have new info from reliable leakers that claims the popular battle royale's next big update will replace the game's map with a virtual Springfield from the show. In September, reliable Fortnite insiders like HypeX and Shiina began reporting that the next season of Fortnite would be a Simpsons mini-season."
"On October 19, multiple Fortnite leakers, including Hypex, NotPaloleaks, and SpushFNBR, began reporting that the mini-season's map would arrive in November and will be "fully Springfield." Previously, some had theorized that part of Springfield would be added to the current battle royale map, but it sounds like that's not the case. Instead, it's claimed that the entire Fortnite map will be replaced with Springfield for the reportedly month-long event. That's similar to how past mini-seasons have worked."
"On Monday, Paloleaks further reported that the map will be cel-shaded, matching the look of the animated series. It's also claimed that the new Simpsons season will include mash-up skins, likely mixing and matching Simpsons characters with Fortnite characters. I can't wait to see what Epic does with Peely. Perhaps a Moleman x Peely skin that will make everyone question their sanity?"
Fortnite's upcoming mini-season will temporarily replace the entire battle royale map with a Springfield-inspired map modeled after The Simpsons, reportedly arriving in November. Leakers and dataminers identified Simpsons characters such as Kang and Kodos in game files, with descriptions suggesting some characters will not be part of the battle pass. The Springfield map will include familiar points of interest like a Nuclear Plant and will use cel-shaded visuals to match the animated series. The event is expected to last about a month and will feature mash-up skins combining Simpsons characters with Fortnite originals, following the pattern of prior mini-seasons.
