Epic Games has unveiled an exciting new teaser for the highly anticipated Fortnite crossover event with The Simpsons, signaling that the collaboration is set to launch soon. The official The Simpsons social media account released a vibrant hype video featuring the iconic alien duo Kang and Kodos invading the colorful world of Fortnite. The teaser serves as a reminder for players to mark their calendars for the in-game event, scheduled for November 1, 2025, at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET.
The collaboration has been generating buzz for weeks, with Epic Games dropping subtle hints about the crossover. Recently, the official Fortnite social media channels shared an altered version of the Fortnitemares logo, playfully graffitied to read “Fartnitemares” with the cheeky tagline “Eat my shorts.” The image was signed “El Barto,” a clear nod to Bart Simpson’s rebellious alter ego, further fueling speculation about the event’s The Simpsons-inspired content.
This latest teaser featuring Kang and Kodos suggests that the event will lean into the quirky and comedic elements of The Simpsons universe. The video showcases the aliens navigating the Fortnite landscape, hinting at their potential role in the upcoming in-game experience. While Epic Games has not yet revealed the full scope of the collaboration, leaks have provided tantalizing details about what players can expect.
According to insider reports, the event will introduce a roster of beloved The Simpsons characters, including Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart, Moe, Krusty, Ned, and the extraterrestrial duo Kang and Kodos, all set to join Fortnite in a new mini-season. Additionally, rumors suggest that the collaboration may include a dedicated Fortnite map inspired by the fictional town of Springfield, featuring iconic locations such as the nuclear power plant and Moe’s Tavern.
The Fortnite x The Simpsons crossover marks a significant moment for fans of both the battle royale phenomenon and the long-running animated series. Fortnite has a history of integrating pop culture giants into its universe, and this collaboration promises to bring the humor and heart of Springfield to the game’s ever-evolving world. The event is poised to deliver a mix of themed skins, in-game challenges, and possibly a unique map, offering players a fresh way to engage with both franchises.
As The Simpsons approaches its 40th anniversary in 2029, the series remains a cultural juggernaut, though its presence in console gaming has been limited in recent years. A group of dedicated modders recently reimagined The Simpsons: Hit & Run as Futurama: Hit & Run, breathing new life into the classic game. Meanwhile, fans can look forward to The Simpsons Movie 2, slated for release in 2027, further cementing the enduring legacy of the beloved animated family.
