Summary
- Fortnite may introduce The Simpsons in its next update after the ongoing Star Wars season.
- Multiple leakers claim that The Simpsons will be the theme of Fortnite's second mini-season later this year.
- Fortnite's Star Wars season will end on June 7, 2025.
After the latest Star Wars-themed season is done, Fortnite's next update is rumored to revolve around The Simpsons. The iconic yellow-tinted animated family has yet to make their Fortnite debut, but according to new leaks, The Simpsons will get their own mini-season once the game's Star Wars-themed update wraps up. It would certainly be a big update for Fortnite, though this crossover would not be all that surprising considering the deal made between Disney and Epic Games back in 2024.
Fortnite has often been praised for its satisfying gunplay, fluid movement, and overall fun-factor, though it's the game's willingness to innovate and collaborate that has seen it continue to dominate the charts years after its release. From Master Chief to Peter Griffin, practically every major franchise is represented in Fortnite in one way or another, something that shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. Fortnite recently launched its Star Wars-themed season, though some are now looking ahead, as leaks suggest Homer, Marge, Lisa, Maggie, and Bart will be making their way into the game soon.

Amid Fortnite's Star Wars season, leakers are now claiming the game's next season will feature a new event based on The Simpsons. Twitter user Loolo WRLD recently posted that The Simpsons will be the theme of Fortnite's second mini-season later this year, a rumor that has been corroborated by several other major players in the Fortnite leaker scene. The details are unknown, but it's possible that Homer may serve as the anchor of the game's next season, as well as Fortnite's next battle pass.
New Fortnite Leak Points Toward The Simpsons Mini-Season
The Simpsons has long been rumored for Fortnite, with the franchise popping up on numerous surveys Epic Games has sent out over the years. It seems like a fitting addition, especially considering Fortnite's other adult-animated content, such as its Peter Griffin Skin as well as its collaboration with Futurama. Now seems like a great time to bring The Simpsons into Fortnite, with Disney and Epic Games forming a partnership in early 2024. Disney invested a whopping $1.5 billion in Epic Games, taking an equity stake in the company.
It's unknown exactly what a Simpsons-based season of Fortnite would look like, though it's safe to assume that at the very least, some type of Homer Simpson skin will make its way into the game. Other characters are likely on the table, with The Simpsons having a large collection of fan-favorite voices and faces. Springfield seems like a great fit for a new Fortnite POI, with places like Krusty Burger, Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, and Lard Lad Donuts all being iconic locations. However, players won't know anything for sure until after Fortnite's Star Wars season ends on June 7, 2025.
