Epic Games has officially launched The Simpsons crossover event in Fortnite, and Springfield has arrived as the new hotspot on the island. The event transforms the world of The Simpsons into a playable battlefield filled with familiar faces, themed weapons, and a new limited-time battle pass. The collaboration runs through the next month, giving players plenty of time to earn all the rewards before the season ends.
A Shorter but Packed Battle Pass
The Simpsons battle pass follows the structure of other mini-seasons, featuring about 70 tiers instead of the standard 200. Despite the shorter length, it includes a full lineup of character skins, style variants, emotes, and accessories based on Springfield’s most iconic residents. For 1,000 V-Bucks - or as part of the Fortnite Crew subscription - players can unlock everything the pass offers.
The highlight of this pass is its roster of five main skins: Homer Simpson, Marge Simpson, Ned Flanders, Blinky Fishstick, and Springfielder Peely. Each comes with a unique set of cosmetic items and alternate styles, some of which reference classic Simpsons episodes. While many rewards are immediately visible in the pass, a few bonus tiers remain locked until later in the season.
Familiar Faces, New Styles
Marge Simpson appears on the first page of the pass, though she isn’t available right away. Instead, players start with a new Sidekick companion named Peels, a banana dog that follows players in matches and reacts to eliminations and victories. Marge becomes unlockable after completing all Page 1 rewards, and her set includes themed cosmetics like the Whack-Uum Cleaner pickaxe, Maggie’s Cart-A-Copter glider, and the Springfield Heart Hands emoticon.
Homer Simpson brings humor and chaos to the battlefield with items that fit his personality. His Lazy Man Toilet Seat glider, Emergency Donut back bling, and Electric Hammer pickaxe all lean into his trademark style. Players can also unlock his alternate “Evil Homer” form, complete with a new emote and wrap titled “Mmm... Donuts.”
Ned Flanders makes his Fortnite debut with his usual cheerful demeanor and two distinct looks: his classic outfit and the “Stupid Sexy Flanders” ski suit, a nod to one of the show’s most popular moments. His cosmetics include the Flanders’ Hi-Diddley-Hoe pickaxe, Flavor Saver Sailor glider, and The Duality of Diddly wrap.
Blinky Fishstick, a fusion of the Fortnite mascot and Springfield’s three-eyed fish, offers a mix of aquatic and radioactive style options. Players can unlock his “Hazardous Blinky” variant along with the Hazardous Fugu Flail pickaxe and Blinky Sludge weapon wrap. The final main skin, Springfielder Peely, acts as the season’s bonus character and will become available starting November 11. This Peely features a Professor Frink-inspired alternate style.
Marge Simpson – Found on Page 1 of the pass, Marge’s default look is accompanied by her “Witch Marge” alternate style. Her cosmetics include the Whack-Uum Cleaner pickaxe, Maggie’s Cart-A-Copter glider, and the Springfield Heart Hands emoticon.
Homer Simpson – Homer’s set includes the Lazy Man Toilet Seat glider, Emergency Donut back bling, and Electric Hammer pickaxe. His “Evil Homer” style features the “I Am Evil Homer” emote and “Mmm... Donuts” wrap.
Ned Flanders – Flanders’ outfit features both his traditional look and the “Stupid Sexy Flanders” ski style. His set includes Flanders’ Hi-Diddley-Hoe pickaxe, Flavor Saver Sailor glider, and The Duality of Diddly wrap.
Blinky Fishstick – A crossover character combining Fortnite’s Fishstick with Springfield’s three-eyed fish. His “Hazardous Blinky” style includes themed items like the Hazardous Fugu Flail pickaxe and Blinky Sludge weapon wrap.
Springfielder Peely – The bonus skin of the pass, unlocking on November 11, includes a Professor Frink-inspired alternate style.
Everyday Items, Springfield Style
The Simpsons crossover leans into the humor and suburban tone of the show. Many cosmetics are designed around everyday household items or Springfield in-jokes, such as the vacuum cleaner pickaxe, shopping cart glider featuring baby Maggie, and the Donut Dropper contrail.
The pass also includes sprays like El Barto Was Here and wraps such as Hairy Situation, referencing some of the show’s most recognizable moments. Loading screens, banner icons, and emoticons help tie the collection together, building a full Simpsons-themed experience that feels distinct from Fortnite’s past collaborations.
Pickaxes:Whack-Uum Cleaner, Flanders’ Ski Poles, Electric Hammer
Gliders:Maggie’s Cart-A-Copter, Flavor Saver Sailor, Lazy Man Toilet Seat
Emotes:Stupid Sexy Skiing, I Am Evil Homer, Lil Station Wagon
Back Blings:Homer’s Gift, Leftorium Emergency Kit, Tentacle Bucket
Wraps and Sprays:Hairy Situation, Blinky Sludge, El Barto Was Here
New Companion System: Sidekicks
This season introduces a new gameplay feature called Sidekicks. These small companions follow players throughout matches and react dynamically to in-game moments like victories or eliminations. Peels, the banana dog, serves as the first free Sidekick included with the Simpsons battle pass, while more companions will be available for purchase in the item shop later in the season. Epic Games describes Sidekicks as an ongoing addition to Fortnite, suggesting they could become a recurring part of future seasons.
More Simpsons Characters Coming to the Item Shop
The Simpsons battle pass isn’t the only place to find Springfield’s residents. Several additional characters are set to appear in the item shop, including Bart Simpson in a mech suit, Lisa Simpson in a similar style, Krusty the Clown, and Moe Szyslak. Each character will bring their own cosmetics and accessories, continuing the crossover’s theme throughout the month-long event.
What to Expect as the Season Continues
While the full list of bonus rewards hasn’t been revealed, players can expect more alternate styles and unlockable items as the season progresses. Additional challenges tied to Springfield’s new map may also grant themed cosmetics or Sidekick variations. With the crossover running for a limited time, fans of both Fortnite and The Simpsons have a narrow window to complete the battle pass and collect all items.
