It was previously announced that The Simpsons was teaming up with Fortnite, but this isn't the sole destination where fans can experience the world of Springfield. The beloved show is also making its way to the popular soccer-driving hybrid, introducing an in-game car skin that will also be compatible in the Fortnite universe. However, whether players will actually want to use it is another question, as there's only one Simpsons car everyone is eager 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 compete while driving Homer's custom creation—the famously flawed car the patriarch built himself in the 1991 episode "the one where he meets Herb"—that's not what's being offered. Not even receiving the Canyonero, the heavy-duty vehicle showcased in season 10. Rather, players will obtain the Simpsons' standard beat-up four-door, which has been in the family since the show's early days. Though this specific vehicle has seen better days, it stands as an recognizable element of the show. And for players who analyze Rocket League vehicle dimensions, the trusty sedan uses the same hitbox as the Dominus.

The event will additionally feature a series of challenges to unlock more rewards, all of which are inspired by the show. As detailed in a official announcement, the challenges will task players to "achieve a certain number of centers and clears as there are the show's years on air, gather boost canisters as if your GPS is set to the Simpson house, and drive a distance worthy of picking up the ideal pastries!"

Although the full lineup of challenge rewards hasn't been disclosed, here is what's been announced so far:

• Blinky topper
• Homer's Hedges player banner
• Waste wheels
• 20,000 XP per challenge
