Fortnite players have another reason to get excited as fresh hints suggest The Simpsons could be joining the battle royale’s long list of crossovers. After the Star Wars event wrapped up, Epic Games seems ready to bring Springfield’s iconic characters into the mix.
For a while, rumors have swirled about new collaborations, with Kirby and even Superman and Robin teased for future seasons. Now, attention turns to The Simpsons, thanks to some clever in-game clues spotted recently.
The Simpsons Content Could be Coming to Fortnite
Leakers @SentinelCentral and @djlorenzouasset recently pointed out some interesting posters found in Fortnite’s Utopia City. These posters show pink, glazed donuts with bugs crawling on them. If you know The Simpsons at all, you’ll remember Homer’s favorite treat is exactly that kind of donut. You might wonder if this is just a coincidence? Well, it’s also tied to the confirmed “bug invasion” theme for the next season.
As djlorenzouasset said “In Utopia City, you can find this poster in a room. Since the ‘bug invasion’ theme is confirmed for next season, and we have a Simpsons mini-season right after, this poster could be an in-game teaser for them.”
It’s a neat little detail that ties two rumors together. Yikes, right? Could this mean Springfield’s quirkiest family will soon be running around Fortnite’s island? I’m kinda curious how they’d fit in. Would Homer bring a donut-based weapon? Would Bart skateboard around while causing chaos? Only time will tell.
