When Does the Simpsons Season Actually Start?
Mark your calendars for November 1, 2025, at 5 PM ET (9 PM UTC). However, the action kicks off earlier with a special live event at 11 AM ET on the same day. This live event will take place in a dedicated in-game playlist before servers go down for the season transition.
The November 1 release date is slightly later than typical Fortnite season launches because October 31 falls on Halloween, allowing Epic to extend Fortnitemares festivities naturally. The mini-season format mirrors Chapter 2 Remix, running for just one month until November 28 with minimal updates to maintain excitement.

Springfield Takes Over: What’s on the Map?
Leaks discovered earlier this year and officially teased in October reveal a complete cel-shaded Springfield map overlay. This isn’t just a cosmetic change—we’re getting actual Simpsons locations as Points of Interest (POIs):
- Moe’s Tavern – Where Duff Beer flows freely (at least in the show)
- Springfield Nuclear Power Plant – Homer’s workplace of chaos
- Kwik-E-Mart – Apu’s convenience store for all your Battle Royale needs
- Springfield Elementary – Bart’s domain, complete with detention possibilities
- Bart’s Treehouse – Already spotted at Creepy Camps with purple reality rifts
The map will feature Reload-sized dimensions, making matches faster and more intense. Expect the signature Simpsons art style with cel-shading that transforms Fortnite’s realistic graphics into that classic 2D animated look.
Battle Pass: The Springfield Seven
The Battle Pass (codenamed “WILDESTATE”) brings seven legendary Simpsons characters as unlockable skins:
- Homer Simpson – The nuclear safety inspector turned Battle Royale warrior
- Marge Simpson – Blue beehive hair and all
- Bart Simpson – El Barto himself with skateboard ready
- Lisa Simpson – The genius with her saxophone
- Krusty the Clown – Springfield’s beloved (and corrupt) entertainer
- Ned Flanders – The overly friendly neighbor
- Moe Szyslak – The grumpy bartender
Beyond skins, expect gliders mocking aliens Kang and Kodos, plus unique emotes featuring Simpsons catchphrases. The leaked “Donut Rain” obstacle will add humorous destruction to matches—imagine dodging Homer’s favorite snack while fighting for Victory Royale.
Official Teasers: “Fartnitemares” and Alien Abductions
Epic kicked off the hype on October 27 with a surprise teaser video featuring Kang and Kodos (The Simpsons’ recurring alien villains) beaming up cartoonified Jonesy and Hope in a tractor beam, warning players to “Tune in-game on Nov 1.”
The most hilarious teaser? Epic vandalized its own Fortnitemares logo, changing it to “Fartnitemares” with El Barto’s signature graffiti and his iconic “Eat my shorts!” catchphrase. That’s peak Simpsons humor right there.
Additional teasers appeared on TikTok and even in out-of-home (OOH) advertising, confirming this collaboration goes beyond typical Fortnite crossovers. Bart’s treehouse at Creepy Camps now displays purple reality rifts and an O.X.R. countdown at Stage 4 with anomaly effects, building anticipation.

NPCs and Special Features
Beyond skins and map changes, expect interactive NPCs from Springfield. While specific characters haven’t been confirmed, past Fortnite collaborations suggest we might encounter:
- Quest-giving NPCs (possibly Apu at Kwik-E-Mart)
- Boss-style encounters (Mr. Burns at the Power Plant?)
- Special vendors selling Simpsons-themed items
The “Donut Rain” obstacle mentioned in leaks could be this season’s unique environmental hazard—imagine dodging pink frosted donuts while building and shooting. It’s absurd, it’s chaotic, and it’s perfectly Simpsons.
Why This Crossover Matters
The Simpsons has been on air since 1989, making it the longest-running American sitcom in history with over 750 episodes. Bringing Springfield to Fortnite introduces the show to Gen Z and Gen Alpha gamers who might know the memes but haven’t watched the classic episodes.
For older players, this is pure nostalgia warfare. Getting Victory Royales as Homer Simpson? That’s a gaming moment 35 years in the making.
D’oh! Don’t miss Springfield’s invasion of Fortnite starting November 1 on Epic Games!
