Springfield is heading to Fortnite, and the teasers are already stirring chaos. From cryptic donuts to a yellow-tinted Battle Bus, Epic Games is teasing something big – here’s everything we know about when the Fortnite x Simpsons season begins and what hints reveal.
Since all the collabs that were announced to be a part of Fortnitemares are now out, Epic has officially started teasing its next season, which will bring a season-wide collab with the iconic animated show, The Simpsons. According to rumors, the Simpsons season will be a one-month-long mini-season just like Chapter 2 Remix. If you’re wondering when the season begins, we’ve got you sorted with its start date, time, and more details.
Fortnite Simpsons Season Release Date and Time
Fortnite’s Simpsons season is expected to launch on Thursday, February 6, 2026, at around 2 AM ET, following the usual server downtime after the end of the current season. Epic Games has teased Springfield-themed locations, Homer and Bart skins, and special missions tied to the cartoon’s humor and iconic style. More details will arrive as the update nears, with leaks hinting at a full crossover event built around The Simpsons’ classic characters and settings.
According to the latest teasers, Fortnite Simpsons season will be released on November 1, 2025, at 5 PM ET / 9 PM UTC. The new content update will be preceded by a live event that will take place in a special in-game playlist right before a long downtime begins.
Since Epic usually releases new seasons earlier than the new time, this is due to the Halloween holiday on October 31, which will extend Fortnitemares festivities naturally. However, Epic has now officially teased the new season countdown on TikTok as well as teasers even in OOH media that reveal the latest collab.
Fortnite Simpsons Season Teasers and Leaks Explained
Recent Fortnite leaks hint that the upcoming Simpsons season will feature Springfield-inspired locations, classic character skins like Homer and Bart, and themed quests tied to the show’s humor. Teasers shared by Epic Games include mysterious donut icons and TV static screens, suggesting a crossover packed with cartoon-style chaos. Players expect limited-time events and nostalgic rewards connecting Fortnite’s universe with The Simpsons’ signature comedy.
The rumors about Springfield’s dysfunctional family joining Fortnite have come true. On October 27, Epic Games and The Simpsons unleashed a surprise teaser video, where aliens Kang and Kodos beam up cartoonified Jonesy and Hope in a tractor beam, sneering, “Tune in-game on Nov 1.”
The live event starts on November 1 before shifting to Chapter 6’s mini-Season launch, which will continue until November 28 with minimal updates to maintain the excitement. Bart has constructed his treehouse at Creepy Camps in recent updates, which began to display purple reality rifts and O.X.R. countdown at Stage 4 with anomaly effects.
Furthermore, in other teasers, Epic vandalized its own Fortnitemares logo to “Fartnitemares” with El Barto graffiti, complete with “Eat my shorts!” quips. The leaks, which were discovered earlier this year, became public in September when a complete cel-shaded Springfield map overlay with Reload-sized dimensions and multiple POIs, including Moe’s Tavern, the Nuclear Power Plant, Kwik-E-Mart, and Springfield Elementary, was revealed.
The Battle Pass, currently codenamed as “WILDESTATE,” consists of Simpsons-themed skins which include Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Krusty the Clown, Ned Flanders, and Moe. Furthermore, gliders that mock Kang and Kodos will appear while NPCs and “Donut Rain” obstacles enable players to create humorous destruction.
