It was previously announced that The Simpsons was collaborating with Fortnite, 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, bringing along an in-game car skin that will also be usable in Fortnite. However, whether players will truly desire to equip it is another question, 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.

What Fans Really Want

While many players would undoubtedly love to face off while driving Homer's custom creation—the notoriously impractical automobile the patriarch designed himself in the classic episode "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"—that's not what players are receiving. We aren't even receiving the massive SUV, the enormous truck showcased in the tenth season. Instead, players will obtain the Simpsons' standard well-worn sedan, which they've been driving since the show's early days. Even though this particular car has accumulated plenty of miles, it stands as an recognizable symbol of the series. And for players who pay attention to Rocket League car hitboxes, the Simpson family car uses the identical collision model as the Dominus body type.

And it's not the sole customization item from the series coming to the game. This limited-time event will additionally feature a set of challenges to unlock more goodies, all of which are inspired by the show. As detailed in a press release, the missions will task players to "get as many centers and clears as there are the show's seasons, collect boost pickups as if your GPS is set to The Simpsons’ residence, and travel a specific distance worthy of picking up the ideal pastries!"

Although the complete list of challenge rewards isn't yet disclosed, here is what has been confirmed so far:

• Blinky antenna topper
• Homer's hedge-themed banner
• Waste wheels
• 20,000 XP per challenge

Based on promotional images is a reliable guide, it appears fans will also receive wheels featuring a television displaying the show's title sequence, Kang and Kodos topper, a sprinkled donut boost trail, and rocket boosts themed to smoldering rubber and Krusty's famous restaurant.
