đź“… Why Is This Season So Short?
The Fortnite Simpsons season is set to end on November 29, 2025, making it one of the shortest seasons in the game’s history with less than a month of playtime. This mini-season format differs dramatically from standard Fortnite seasons that typically run 10-12 weeks.
What Makes It a “Mini-Season”:
- Condensed Battle Pass: Only 50 main tiers plus 20 bonus rewards (70 total) vs. standard 200+ tiers
- Focused Content: Concentrated around Simpsons theme rather than evolving storylines
- Transitional Period: Bridges Chapter 6’s conclusion to Chapter 7’s launch
- Reduced Map Size: 80-player lobbies on smaller Springfield map vs. standard 100-player matches
The mini-season began on November 1, 2025, giving players just four weeks to complete challenges, unlock cosmetics, and experience everything Springfield offers.
🎮 What’s Inside the Battle Pass?
Featured Character Skins (Main Rewards)
The Simpsons pass includes five skins—Homer, Marge, Ned Flanders, Blinky Fishstick, and Springfielder Peely—each of which has substantial style options.
Character Unlock Levels:
- Marge Simpson – Page 1 (Level 7) with Witch Marge variant
- Blinky Fishstick – Page 3 (Level ~15) with Hazardous style
- Ned Flanders – Page 6 (Level ~35) featuring the legendary “Stupid Sexy Flanders” ski suit
- Homer Simpson – Final reward (Level 50) with “Evil Homer” devil outfit bonus
- Springfielder Peely – Bonus skin (available Nov 11, requires 26 additional levels)
Additional Cosmetics & Items
Beyond character skins, the Battle Pass delivers:
- Pickaxes: Whack-Uum Cleaner, Electric Hammer, Fuel Rod and Tongs (free login reward)
- Gliders: Maggie’s Cart-A-Copter, Lazy Man Toilet Seat
- Back Blings: Emergency Donut
- Emotes & Wraps: Springfield-themed reactive cosmetics
- First-Ever Sidekick: Peels, a banana dog companion that reacts to gameplay
- Up to 1,500 V-Bucks: Earn back more than the Battle Pass cost
🏆 How to Complete Everything Before November 29
XP Earning Strategies
With a considerably short time for players to grind and get those Battle Pass rewards, efficiency matters:
Daily Essentials:
- Complete all daily quests (minimum 20-30K XP daily)
- Participate in weekly challenges for massive XP boosts
- Complete story and island missions to gain XP and level up fast
Springfield-Specific Activities:
- Engage with nuclear plant meltdown event when storm approaches
- Explore Easter eggs and hidden references for bonus XP
- Utilize new Simpsons-themed weapons like Mr. Blasty revolver
- Survive matches longer in the 80-player format for placement XP
Pro Tip: The new Peely becomes available starting November 11, requiring an additional 26 levels beyond the main 50. Don’t stop grinding after unlocking Homer—Springfielder Peely needs separate progression!
Battle Pass Cost & Value
The Simpsons pass costs the usual 1,000 V-Bucks and is included with a month of Fortnite Crew. For approximately $7.99 USD (1,000 V-Bucks), you receive:
- 5 unique character skins with variants
- Dozens of themed cosmetics
- 1,500 V-Bucks back (net profit of 500 V-Bucks)

🎬 What Happens After November 29?
Season Finale Speculation
The mini-season began with Hope and Jonesy battling the tentacled alien, so it’s safe to assume the end will bring a conclusion to the long-drawn battle between the island and the Demon realm.
Potential Finale Events:
- Live in-game event transitioning from Springfield to Chapter 7
- Cinematic conclusion to Hope and Jonesy’s storyline
- Possible Homer-Zero Point chaos resolution (weekly animated shorts build toward this)
However, Epic Games has not officially confirmed the possibility of any live event, so surprises may await!
Weekly Animated Shorts
New Simpsons episodes air directly in Fortnite each week:
- November 10: Second animated short
- November 17: Third animated short
- November 24: Final animated short (5 days before season end)
These shorts advance the story of Homer’s misadventures with the Zero Point fragment and likely preview what’s coming in Chapter 7.

âť“ Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: If I don’t complete the Battle Pass by November 29, can I still unlock rewards later?
Unfortunately, no. Once the Fortnite Simpsons season ends on November 29, 2025, all Battle Pass progression stops permanently, and any unclaimed rewards become completely inaccessible. This is standard Fortnite policy—Battle Pass content is exclusive to its season and cannot be earned afterward. However, any rewards you DID unlock before the deadline remain in your locker forever, including all skins, emotes, pickaxes, and cosmetics. This is why the community is emphasizing the urgency: with only 28 days total and needing to reach Level 50 (plus 26 more for Springfielder Peely), consistent daily play is essential. If you’re concerned about completion, consider purchasing Battle Pass level bundles with V-Bucks as the deadline approaches, though this costs real money. The good news: earning XP is relatively fast in mini-seasons due to concentrated challenges and reduced tier requirements compared to standard 200+ tier passes.
Q2: Will Simpsons skins return to the Item Shop after the season ends, or is this my only chance?
The Battle Pass skins (Homer, Marge, Ned Flanders, Blinky Fishstick, Springfielder Peely) will NEVER return—Battle Pass exclusives are permanently limited to their season. Once November 29 passes, these specific skins become unobtainable forever, creating long-term rarity and exclusivity for players who unlocked them. However, Item Shop Simpsons characters like Bart Simpson (mech suit), Lisa Simpson, Krusty the Clown, and Moe Szyslak operate differently—these can return periodically in future Item Shop rotations, though timing is unpredictable and could be months or years between appearances. Epic Games typically reserves Battle Pass rewards as permanent exclusives to incentivize season participation, while Item Shop content generates ongoing revenue through periodic returns. If you want Homer’s iconic appearance or the legendary “Stupid Sexy Flanders” variant, you must complete the Battle Pass before November 29. Item Shop purchases only require V-Bucks and don’t depend on season timing, but they cost more than Battle Pass value.
