Fortnite’s next mini-season is shaping up to be a full Simpsons takeover. A leaked key art and in‑game teasers point to a cel‑shaded Springfield island, a smaller, character‑focused Battle Pass, and a short run that bridges the end of Fortnitemares into early November. Epic hasn’t detailed the season yet, but the rollout has already started inside the game.

Release timing and season length

The current timeline points to a live finale on Saturday, November 1, 2025, followed by a short “mini‑season” launch the same day or the following morning after downtime. Expect a condensed season of roughly four to five weeks, running through late November into early December, similar in length to past collaboration mini‑seasons.

Battle Pass and shop skins (leaked)

The Simpsons crossover centers on a tight lineup. Mini‑seasons usually feature fewer skins than a full chapter season; current leaks indicate four to five Battle Pass outfits with additional characters rotating through the item shop. Until Epic reveals the final card, treat everything below as subject to change.

Category Characters/Items Notes
Battle Pass (expected) Homer Simpson, Marge Simpson, Ned Flanders, Peely (Simpsons‑style), Fishstick (Simpsons‑style) Mini‑season pass size is typically smaller; current leaks point to five total skins.
Item Shop (likely) Bart Simpson (mech suit), Lisa Simpson (mech suit), Moe Szyslak, Krusty the Clown, Scratchy Bart and Lisa appear in mech suits to fit Fortnite’s character model scale.
Cosmetics (rumored) Kang & Kodos UFO glider/back bling, wraps, pickaxes, gliders, donuts‑themed items Key art and in‑file assets suggest Simpsons‑themed accessories throughout the pass and shop rotations.

Pricing hasn’t been confirmed. Plan for standard Battle Pass pricing around 1,000 V‑Bucks, with the caveat that mini‑season passes sometimes shuffle the usual value mix (skins, V‑Bucks, and accessories) to fit the shorter duration.

Springfield map and visual style

The headline change is the island itself. The season is set to apply a cel‑shaded Simpsons look across the map, effectively reimagining the island as Springfield. Iconic landmarks visible in leaked art include Moe’s Tavern and the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Inside today’s game, a small cel‑shaded sprig has appeared at Creepy Camps and is expected to grow into Bart’s treehouse as the event ramps up.

Compared to typical brand tie‑ins that stop at skins and a few POIs, a full‑island aesthetic shift would be unusually ambitious, touching terrain, materials, and lighting to match the show’s flat colors and outlines.

Event beats and gameplay teasers

  • Kang and Kodos are slated for rare in‑match cameos, briefly phasing in and out rather than acting as interactable bosses.
  • Homer’s TV remote is teased as a usable item during the season.
  • Junk Rift drops are expected to include giant donuts as a seasonal gag item.
  • In‑world screens inside Bart’s treehouse are set to broadcast teasers, in line with how Fortnite has staged past quest and event messages.

Expect more in‑game changes to roll out ahead of launch as the treehouse and Springfield set dressing expand.

What’s still unconfirmed

Epic hasn’t issued a full breakdown, so details like the exact pass contents, pricing, and the final start time can still shift. The leaked roster and map plan are consistent with what’s already visible in the client, but the studio often holds a few surprise items for the patch notes and day‑one shop.

If you’re planning to jump in, keep an eye on the Creepy Camps treehouse build‑up and be ready for a short maintenance window around the Fortnitemares finale. Given the shorter calendar, the best cosmetics and quests typically show up early in these mini‑seasons.
