It was previously announced that the iconic animated series was teaming up with Epic Games' battle royale, but this isn't the sole place where enthusiasts can experience the universe 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 usable in Fortnite. That said, if gamers will truly desire to equip it is a different matter, as fans have their hearts set on just one Springfield car everyone is itching to get behind the wheel of, and this new offering isn't that one.

The Dream Vehicle

While many players would undoubtedly love to face off while driving Homer's custom creation—the notoriously impractical car the patriarch designed personally in the 1991 installment "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"—that's not what players are receiving. We aren't even receiving the Canyonero, the enormous truck featured in season 10. Instead, fans are getting the Simpsons' everyday beat-up sedan, which they've been driving since 1989. Though this specific vehicle has accumulated plenty of miles, it remains an recognizable symbol of the series. And for players who analyze Rocket League vehicle dimensions, the trusty sedan uses the identical collision model as the Dominus body type.

More Than Just a Car

And it's not the sole cosmetic from the show coming to the game. The event will additionally feature a series of challenges to earn additional rewards, all of which are inspired by the show. According to a official announcement, the missions will require participants to "get as many centers and clears as there are The Simpsons seasons, gather boost canisters as if your GPS is set to the Simpson residence, and travel a specific distance sufficient for picking up the perfect donuts!"

Although the complete list of earnable items hasn't been disclosed, here is what's been announced up to this point:

• Blinky antenna topper
• Homer's Hedges player banner
• Garbage-themed wheels
• 20,000 XP per challenge

If the key art is a reliable guide, it seems players will also receive wheels featuring a television displaying The Simpsons' title sequence, alien antenna toppers, a sprinkled donut boost trail, and boost effects themed to smoldering rubber and Krusty's famous restaurant.

Event Timing and Fortnite Connection

This event lines up with the major Simpsons invasion of Fortnite, which includes a brand-new playable area of Springfield, as well as a month-long seasonal progression system. This special Rocket League and Simpsons event launches on Saturday, Nov. 1 and concludes on November 17th.
