It was previously announced that the iconic animated series was collaborating with Epic Games' battle royale, but this isn't the sole place where fans can experience the universe of Springfield. The long-running series is also making its way to Rocket League, bringing along an vehicle customization option that will also be usable in Fortnite. That said, if gamers will truly desire to use it is a different matter, as fans have their hearts set on just one Simpsons vehicle the community is eager to get behind the wheel of, and this new offering isn't that one.

What Fans Really Want

Although most gamers would undoubtedly love to face off while driving Homer's custom creation—the famously flawed automobile the patriarch built himself in the 1991 installment "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"—that's not what players are receiving. We aren't even receiving the massive SUV, the heavy-duty truck featured in season 10. Instead, fans are getting the Simpsons' everyday well-worn four-door, which they've been driving since 1989. Even though this specific vehicle has accumulated plenty of miles, it stands as an iconic symbol of the show. And for players who analyze Rocket League vehicle dimensions, the trusty sedan shares the identical collision model as the Dominus.

Additional Themed Cosmetics

And it's not the only customization item from the series coming to Rocket League. This limited-time event will additionally feature a set of challenges to earn more goodies, all of which are inspired by the show. According to a official announcement, the missions will require players to "achieve a certain number of centers and clears as there are the show's years on air, collect boost pickups as if your navigation is set to The Simpsons’ residence, and travel a specific distance sufficient for acquiring the ideal pastries!"

While the complete list of earnable items hasn't been disclosed, here is what's been announced so far:

• Blinky topper
• Homer's hedge-themed banner
• Waste wheels
• 20,000 experience points for each challenge

Based on promotional images is any indication, it appears players will also receive wheels featuring a TV displaying The Simpsons' title sequence, Kang and Kodos topper, a sprinkled donut boost trail, and boost effects 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 brings a completely new playable area of Springfield, as well as a 30-day seasonal progression system. The Rocket League x The Simpsons celebration begins on Saturday, Nov. 1 and ends on Nov. 17.
