We already knew that the iconic animated series was collaborating with Epic Games' battle royale, but this isn't the sole destination where enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the world of Springfield. The beloved show is coming over to the popular soccer-driving hybrid, bringing along an vehicle customization option that will also be compatible in Fortnite. That said, if gamers will actually want to equip it is another question, as there's only one Simpsons vehicle everyone is itching to get behind the wheel of, and this isn't it.

The Dream Vehicle

While many players would absolutely enjoy to compete while driving Homer's custom creation—the famously flawed automobile the patriarch designed personally in the 1991 installment "the one where he meets Herb"—regrettably, that isn't what players are receiving. Not even receiving the massive SUV, the heavy-duty vehicle showcased in season 10. Instead, players are getting the Simpsons' standard well-worn sedan, which has been in the family since the show's early days. Even though this particular car has accumulated plenty of miles, it stands as an recognizable symbol of the show. For those 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. 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 require players to "achieve a certain number of centers and clears as there are the show's years on air, gather boost canisters as if your navigation is set to The Simpsons’ house, and travel a specific distance worthy of acquiring the perfect donuts!"

Although the full lineup of earnable items hasn't been revealed, here is what has been confirmed up to this point:

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

Based on promotional images is a reliable guide, it appears fans will also receive rims with a TV showing The Simpsons' opening credits, Kang and Kodos topper, a sprinkled donut boost trail, and rocket boosts themed to smoldering rubber and Krusty's famous restaurant.

Event Timing and Fortnite Connection

The Rocket League collaboration lines up with the extensive The Simpsons invasion of Fortnite's island, which includes a brand-new playable area of the fictional town, as well as a 30-day seasonal progression system. This special Rocket League and Simpsons event begins on Saturday, Nov. 1 and concludes on November 17th.
