Summary
- Epic Games may be planning a Fortnite x The Simpsons collaboration to bring another Disney-owned property into the game.
- This potential collaboration would embrace the cartoonishly goofy side of Fortnite, similar to past collaborations with animated sitcoms.
- Recent leaks from credible sources suggest that a Fortnite x The Simpsons collaboration is likely, with many fun possibilities for in-game content.
Rumor has it that a Fortnite x The Simpsons collaboration is in development. Fortnite has kept the momentum for its collaborations going with various inclusions, such as the Deadpool and Wolverine-theme d collaboration, as well as the plethora of Marvel characters bound for Chapter 5 Season 4 of the game. Marvel appears to be one of the most consistently popular collaborations that Epic Games goes back to.
Epic may dip into the Marvel well for Fortnite so often in part due to the new partnership that it has with Disney, the comic book publisher's owner. Outside of that, Epic Games and Disney are planning on bringing an entire "universe" to players, which could have limitless potential. It makes sense that Fortnite would bring in another property owned by Disney, such as The Simpsons. This could bring more eyes to the game while embracing the more cartoonishly goofy side of Fortnite that players seem to really enjoy. A Fortnite collaboration with The Simpsons might be a perfect collision of worlds.
Fortnite Reveals First Look at Chapter 5 Season 4 Map
Epic Games shares a picture giving fans their first look at the upcoming Fortnite map, and it seems a part of it will suffer major changes.
On social media, SamLeakss shared that a collaboration between Fortnite and The Simpsons may be underway. Although Samleakss kept their source anonymous, they say that the same person leaked the collaboration between Fortnite, Avatar, and Disney. It's not hard to believe that a collaboration with The Simpsons might end up happening, not only because of Fortnite's popularity, but because this would make it the third animated sitcom collaboration Fortnite has had, the other two being Futurama and Family Guy.
Leaker Teases Fortnite Collab With The Simpsons
Any of the main Simpsons family members would be possibilities for the collab, including Maggie, who has canonically been eager to fight in the past. Other potential candidates that might make players happy to see would be side characters like Ned Flanders, Krusty the Clown, or Sideshow Bob. Furthermore, The Simpsons has a long list of video games that could provide additional inspiration for Easter eggs and more.
Regarding the credibility of the leak, SamLeakss also collaborated with other popular Fortnite leakers in July to accurately guess that characters like Gwenpool would show up in the game at some point. After the trailer for the brand-new Marvel x Fortnite collaboration, that information has been verified. Based on that, there is a considerable chance that The Simpsons will make its way to Fortnite, and there are countless fun ideas to incorporate in a potential collaboration between the two properties.
