I'm excited, hopefully the map will be at least half as good as Hit and Run.

Fortnite's upcoming collaboration with The Simpsons reportedly includes a detailed map of Springfield, designed in the animated show's iconic art style. Springfield is easily one of the most recognizable towns in animated television history, and Fortnite may be looking to capitalize on that familiar setting.

Now, new information suggests that the mini-season will include a map that is "fully Springfield," referencing the animated show's hometown locale.

Damn that is legitimately awesome

 

[Loomy]

That could be a lot of fun.

Season passes are only a one-time $10 fee as long as you unlock all the vbucks within each battle pass.

 

[Sybrix]

I'd play that just to walk around

 

[DirtInUrEye]

The Simpsons haven't been relevant for decades and cell shaded graphics are shit.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

I wonder if some dev's working at Epic were Simpson's & Hit n Run enjoyer's back in the day and want to re-create but with better grafix.

Simpsons suck balls now

don't have a cow, man!

New seasons do, but the Simpsons itself is still a beloved classic.

 

[NeverYouMind]

I hope this gets recycled into an actual game.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Will be really cool to see.

 

[DarkShadowXI]

This game is so dead to me, but I HAVE to at least try this. That's super cool!

 

[Chuck Berry]

I hope this gets recycled into an actual game.

It kinda was back in the day

 

[NeverYouMind]

It kinda was back in the day

It's too retro for me. I need something contemporary!

 

[DarkShadowXI]

It kinda was back in the day

I remember playing this!

 

[Chuck Berry]

I remember playing this!

Yeah man. Wasn't much of a game, but it was certainly cool as shit for the time. Basically all we had until Hit N Run.

 

[bitbydeath]

Ned going to be a skin.

 

[MiguelItUp]

It kinda was back in the day

Man, this was mind blowing at the time.

 

[bitbydeath]

The PS3 game was incredible as well.

 

[Revolutionary]

Should be fun. I wonder what skins will be available aside from Homer. Family Guy had a buff Peter Griffin, the giant chicken, and Cleveland. The kids are out of the question unless they use their future versions like President Lisa.

Edit: Turns out the kids ARE in but will be piloting adult-sized mechs

 

[kevboard]

Ned going to be a skin.

ok... they NEED TO have at least 1 or 2 jam songs by Okilly Dokilly!



this song was actually used in the credits roll at the end of an episode in 2019

 

[Joe Cool]

I missed Ghostface.

This is some bullshit.

 

[Revolutionary]

I missed Ghostface.

This is some bullshit.

They'll probably sell the skin again when Scream 7 is released next year.

 

[Joe Cool]

This is true. I hug you for your kindness.

 

[ComputerBlue]

This might actually get me to play Fortnite just so I can explore Springfield.

The Simpsons has been shit since season 10, but it had a heck of a 9 season run and I loved it as a kid.

 

[kiphalfton]

I wonder if some dev's working at Epic were Simpson's & Hit n Run enjoyer's back in the day and want to re-create but with better grafix.

You're a funny guy

 

[Barakov]

I can't believe I'm thinking going back to this.

 

[lee50_10]

Leaked Flanders skin.

 

[RJMacready73]

i'd be up for watching the kid dust off his character to get a look at this, crazy how much of a money pit that game was, his friends where spending huge amounts but i limited my wee lad to £10 of his own money on his Bday & Xmas whereas i knew dads who where out hundreds.. and now they've all moved onto other games

 

[Revolutionary]

More leaks



I see Krusty in the background. Hope there's a McBain skin too

Edit: Also see Scratchy in the car with someone

 

[BlackTron]

Okay, you got me. I will finally install Fortnite.

 

[bitbydeath]

Marge with the red vacuum is a great call back.

 

[DarkShadowXI]

Goddamnit. Looks like I'm playing Fortnite on November 1st.

 

[DeVeAn]

Cool! I'll jump in Rockin the Green Ranger skin!

 

[bitbydeath]

Seeing a few key areas on the map.

Kamp Krusty - island on the right
Power Plant - left of the island
Burns Manor - middle right
Cleetus farm - top left
Springfield Gorge - Brown area
Simpsons home and others - Middle left
Tire fire - Below the homes
Springfield Docks - Bottom middle area

The stadium might also be there but image is very blurry.

Edit: Possibly the retirement homes at the bottom too.

The official teasing finally begins with Bart tagging up the official Fortnite website and Twitter banner

Also apparently this popped up in Chile:



I'm actually really looking forward to this. Started playing Save The World again after like 7 years so I can earn some Vbucks for the Simpsons collab and was pleasantly surprised to find out that playing STW actually progresses battle passes now, so I managed to hit level 100 in time despite only casually playing for the past two weeks.

Simpsons Hit and Run was fun

 

[Larxia]

I don't even know what Fortnite really is anymore, I've seen all kind of random things about it. Seems like it's not just a battle royale now?
Will this just be a pvp map for the usual battle royale mode, or is there something more involved?
Could be cool if we can walk around Springfield in a modern recreation of it, as I loved Hit & Run, but I imagine this won't really be this

 

[bitbydeath]

I missed Ghostface.

This is some bullshit.

Ghostface is back on the store.

 

[bitbydeath]

 

[Joe Cool]

Ghostface is back on the store.

Thank you very much!

 

[bitbydeath]

Alright, now this looks awesome.

 

[bitbydeath]

Leaked Flanders skin.

It's happening.

 

[Guesclin]

Ah Fartnite the game where you can slaughter one another but can't see a fake beer logo on a blimp

 

[splattered]

This is all looking really good, they just released an actual teaser earlier today and detailed companions...

 

[bitbydeath]

For those not playing but want to see what it looks like.

 

[Revolutionary]

Rumors are that we'll get a Kang and Kodos Glider for participating in the live event tomorrow:

 

[thatsafakewebsitebro]

That Michael Jackson leak was a fake. never was a big Simpsons fan. But I can dig it.
