It was previously announced that The Simpsons was teaming up with Epic Games' battle royale, but this isn't the sole place where enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the universe of Springfield. The beloved show is also making its way to Rocket League, introducing an in-game car skin that will also be usable in the Fortnite universe. That said, whether players will truly desire to equip it is another question, as there's only one Simpsons car everyone is itching to get behind the wheel of, and this new offering isn't that one.

What Fans Really Want

Although most players would undoubtedly love to face off while driving Homer's custom creation—the famously flawed automobile Homer built personally in the classic episode "the one where he meets Herb"—regrettably, that isn't what's being offered. We aren't even getting the Canyonero, the enormous truck featured in season 10. Rather, players are getting the family's everyday well-worn sedan, which they've been driving since 1989. Though this specific vehicle has accumulated plenty of miles, it stands as an iconic symbol of the show. For those who pay attention to Rocket League vehicle dimensions, the trusty sedan shares the identical collision model as the Dominus body type.

More Than Just a Car

And it's not the sole customization item from the show arriving in the game. This limited-time event will additionally feature a set of objectives to unlock additional goodies, all of which are Simpsons-themed. As detailed in a official announcement, the challenges will task participants to "get as many centers and clears as there are the show's seasons, gather boost canisters as if your GPS is set to The Simpsons’ residence, and travel a specific distance worthy of acquiring the perfect donuts!"

While the complete list of earnable items isn't yet revealed, here is what has been confirmed up to this point:

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

Based on promotional images is any indication, it seems fans will also get wheels with a TV showing The Simpsons' title sequence, Kang and Kodos topper, a sprinkled donut boost trail, and boost effects inspired by smoldering rubber and Krusty's famous restaurant.

Event Timing and Fortnite Connection

This event lines up with the major The Simpsons takeover of Fortnite's island, which includes a completely new playable area of the fictional town, as well as a month-long Battle Pass. This special Rocket League and Simpsons event begins on November 1st and ends on November 17th.
