What to expect from The Simpsons in Fortnite

Unlike many collabs that just add a few cosmetics or an in-game boss to the game, The Simpsons event is reportedly going to be a full-on mini season, similar to the likes of the yearly Star Wars season.

According to noted Fortnite leaker NotPalo, the map will be transformed into Springfield, separated into various iconic locations from the show such as the Springfield Nuclear Plant.

Interestingly, the whole map will also reportedly be cel shaded in order to fit The Simpsons' artstyle.

Naturally, there will also be some Simpsons skins added to the game, each of which will include their own LEGO variants.

Although none of the skins have been confirmed as of yet, it feels safe to assume that Homer and Marge skins will both be available.

Bart and Lisa would initially seem too short to get their own in-game skins, one leaked Bart skin has appeared online showing him operating a mechanical suit, effectively making him the same height as everyone else.

Naturally, with so many legendary side characters to choose from, we wouldn't be surprised to see some other skins made available such as Moe Szyslak, Principal Skinner, Ned Flanders, Krusty the Clown and many more.
