It was previously announced that the iconic animated series was collaborating with Fortnite, but this isn't the sole place where enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the universe of Springfield. The beloved show is coming over to Rocket League, bringing along an in-game car skin that will also be compatible in Fortnite. However, if gamers will actually want to use it is a different matter, as there's only one Simpsons car the community is itching to drive, and this isn't it.

What Fans Really Want

Although most gamers would absolutely enjoy to face off behind the wheel of The Homer—the famously flawed car the patriarch built personally in the 1991 installment "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"—that's not what's being offered. Not even getting the massive SUV, the heavy-duty vehicle showcased in the tenth season. Instead, players will obtain the Simpsons' everyday beat-up four-door, which has been in the family since the show's early days. Though this particular car has accumulated plenty of miles, it stands as an recognizable element of the show. And for players who pay attention to Rocket League vehicle dimensions, the Simpson family car uses the identical collision model as the Dominus body type.

More Than Just a Car

And it's not the sole customization item from the show arriving in Rocket League. This limited-time event will also include a set of objectives to earn more rewards, all of which are inspired by the show. As detailed in a official announcement, the challenges will task players to "achieve a certain number of centers and clears as there are The Simpsons years on air, collect boost pickups as if your navigation is set to The Simpsons’ house, and travel a specific distance worthy of acquiring the ideal pastries!"

While the full lineup 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

Based on promotional images is a reliable guide, it seems fans will also get wheels with a television showing the show's opening credits, alien antenna toppers, a frosted doughnut trail, and boost effects themed to burning tires and Krusty's famous restaurant.

Launch Dates and Crossover Details

This event lines up with the extensive The Simpsons takeover of Fortnite, which brings a brand-new playable area of the fictional town, in addition to a 30-day seasonal progression system. This special Rocket League and Simpsons celebration begins on November 1st and ends on November 17th.
