We already knew that The Simpsons was collaborating with Fortnite, but this isn't the sole place where enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the universe of Springfield. The beloved show is coming over to the popular soccer-driving hybrid, bringing along an vehicle customization option that will also be compatible in Fortnite. That said, whether players will truly desire to equip it is another question, as fans have their hearts set on just one Simpsons car the community is itching to drive, and this new offering isn't that one.

The Dream Vehicle

Although most gamers would undoubtedly love to compete behind the wheel of The Homer—the famously flawed automobile the patriarch built himself in the 1991 installment "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"—regrettably, that isn't what's being offered. We aren't even receiving the massive SUV, the enormous vehicle showcased in season 10. Instead, fans will obtain the Simpsons' everyday beat-up sedan, which has been in the family since the show's early days. Even though this particular car has seen better days, it remains an recognizable element of the series. For those who analyze Rocket League car hitboxes, the Simpson family car uses the same hitbox as the Dominus body type.

More Than Just a Car

But that's not the only customization item from the show coming to Rocket League. The event will additionally feature a series of objectives to unlock more goodies, all of which are Simpsons-themed. According to a press release, the missions will task players to "achieve a certain number of centers and clears as there are The Simpsons seasons, gather boost canisters as if your navigation is set to the Simpson residence, and drive a distance worthy of picking up the perfect donuts!"

While the complete list of challenge rewards isn't yet revealed, here is what has been confirmed so far:

• Blinky antenna topper
• Homer's hedge-themed banner
• Garbage-themed wheels
• 20,000 experience points for each challenge

If the key art is a reliable guide, it appears players will also receive wheels with a television showing The Simpsons' title sequence, Kang and Kodos topper, a frosted doughnut trail, and rocket boosts themed to burning tires and Krusty Burger.

Launch Dates and Crossover Details

This event lines up with the extensive Simpsons takeover of Fortnite's island, which brings a brand-new playable area of the fictional town, in addition to a 30-day Battle Pass. This special Rocket League and Simpsons event begins on November 1st and ends on Nov. 17.
