It was previously announced that The Simpsons was teaming up with Epic Games' battle royale, but this isn't the sole destination where fans can immerse themselves in the world of Springfield. The beloved show is coming over to the popular soccer-driving hybrid, introducing an vehicle customization option that will also be usable in the Fortnite universe. However, if gamers will actually want to use it is a different matter, as there's only one Springfield vehicle the community is eager to get behind the wheel of, and this isn't it.

The Dream Vehicle

While many players would undoubtedly love to face off while driving Homer's custom creation—the notoriously impractical automobile Homer built himself in the 1991 installment "the one where he meets Herb"—that's not what players are receiving. We aren't even receiving the massive SUV, the heavy-duty truck showcased in season 10. Rather, fans will obtain the family's everyday well-worn sedan, which has been in the family since the show's early days. Though this specific vehicle has accumulated plenty of miles, it remains an iconic element of the series. And for players who pay attention to the game's vehicle dimensions, the Simpson family car shares the identical collision model as the Dominus.

More Than Just a Car

And it's not the sole cosmetic from the series arriving in Rocket League. This limited-time event will also include a set of challenges to unlock additional rewards, all of which are Simpsons-themed. As detailed in a press release, the missions will task participants to "achieve a certain number of centers and clears as there are The Simpsons years on air, collect boost pickups as if your navigation is set to the Simpson house, and travel a specific distance sufficient for picking up the perfect donuts!"

Although the complete list of challenge rewards isn't yet revealed, here is what's been announced so far:

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

If the key art is any indication, it seems fans will also receive rims featuring a TV displaying the show's title sequence, Kang and Kodos topper, a frosted doughnut trail, and boost effects themed to smoldering rubber and Krusty Burger.

Launch Dates and Crossover Details

The Rocket League collaboration coincides with the major Simpsons invasion of Fortnite, which brings a brand-new playable area of the fictional town, in addition to a month-long seasonal progression system. This special Rocket League and Simpsons celebration begins on November 1st and ends on November 17th.
