Here’s a complete rundown of the upcoming Fortnite x Simpsons Battle Pass and other characters coming to the game!
Fortnite is still in the midst of Chapter 6 Season 4 and the annual Fortnitemares Halloween event. However, the worst-kept secret in the world is what's next for the game. The answer is a season centered around the animated sitcom The Simpsons. Everything has begun to leak in the lead-up to the expected Nov. 1 launch date, including a Simpsons-inspired Battle Pass.
Many leakers have verified numerous reports floating around the scene, and this article will outline what you need to know about the upcoming Mini-Season.
Homer, Marge, and more highlight the Fortnite x Simpsons Battle Pass
The official key art for the next season leaked, giving everyone a preview of the characters to expect when the update drops. These details came to light via leakers Blortzen and FNBRintel. As you can see, every relevant Simpsons character you could imagine is coming to Fortnite.
It's unclear which characters will be available in the Item Shop versus the Battle Pass, but here is the reported Fortnite x Simpsons Battle Pass lineup:
- Homer Simpson
- Marge Simpson
- Peely Remix
- Fishsticks Remix
- Ned Flanders
Epic Games has yet to confirm these details, but the layout of the key art lends credibility to the report. In addition to Homer, Marge, and Ned Flanders, there will be a Simpsons-inspired Peely and Fishsticks skin.
Although we have a strong idea of what to expect, we don't know how much the Battle Pass will cost, but it should be the usual 1,000 V-Bucks.
What about the other characters?
The Simpsons Battle Pass only covers a handful of the series' most iconic characters, so what about the others? Well, the key art clearly depicts Krusty the Clown, Bart in a mech suit, and Moe, all of whom will be available as Item Shop skins.
Lisa and Scratchy are two characters that don't appear in the key art, but leakers have reported that both will also be Item Shop skins during the Mini-Season. Given the sheer size of The Simpsons universe, it's safe to say we can expect many more characters to appear as skins or in other ways.
This is a collaboration many knew was coming down the pipeline, but is it exciting? That ultimately depends on your feelings about The Simpsons. Although not as popular these days, the characters remain iconic. It will be interesting to see if players show interest in this Mini-Season.
