The wildness doesn't stop there, as the Simpsons collaboration flips the island into a full-on Springfield experience! There's even a Simpsons-specific battle pass, with none other than the iconic Stupid Sexy Flanders skin for your collection. And it’s a two-way street—The Simpsons episode on November 2 fired back with a cracking Fortnite-themed couch gag, leaving beloved Peely hilariously confused.
This crossover is causing a major stir in the Fortnite universe. Epic Games reported a tsunami of gaming enthusiasts rushing in, marking the highest player activity since last holiday season! Fortnite.gg confirms a hefty 2.7 million players hanno gotten in on the Simpsons hype. While it doesn't hit the jaw-dropping 14 million peak of last year, it’s a definite crowd-puller.
Meanwhile, eyes are on the horizon as wild rumors suggest a special Kpop Demon Hunters track titled “Golden” could soon make its way into the Fortnite musical lineup. Stay tuned, gamers, because if it's one thing we've learned, it's that Fortnite knows how to keep us on our toes!
Jump in, battle it out, and maybe, just maybe, you'll survive Flanders' rampage. Good luck, have fun, and remember, in Fortnite’s Springfield, anything goes!
