We already knew that The Simpsons was collaborating with Fortnite, but that's not the only place where enthusiasts can experience the universe of Springfield. The beloved show is coming over to Rocket League, bringing along an vehicle customization option that will also be compatible in Fortnite. However, whether players will actually want to use it is a different matter, as fans have their hearts set on just one Simpsons vehicle everyone is itching to drive, and this new offering isn't that one.

The Dream Vehicle

Although most players would absolutely enjoy to compete while driving The Homer—the notoriously impractical automobile Homer built himself in the 1991 installment "the one where he meets Herb"—regrettably, that isn't what's being offered. We aren't even getting the massive SUV, the enormous truck featured in season 10. Rather, players will obtain the family's standard well-worn four-door, which has been in the family since the show's early days. Even though this particular car has accumulated plenty of miles, it stands as an recognizable symbol of the series. For those who analyze Rocket League vehicle dimensions, the trusty sedan uses the identical collision model as the Dominus body type.

Additional Themed Cosmetics

And it's not the sole cosmetic from the series arriving in Rocket League. The event will additionally feature a set of objectives to unlock more goodies, all of which are Simpsons-themed. According to a official announcement, the challenges will require participants to "get as many centers and clears as there are the show's years on air, gather boost canisters as if your navigation is set to the Simpson house, and travel a specific distance sufficient for picking up the perfect donuts!"

While the full lineup of challenge rewards hasn't been disclosed, here is what's been announced so far:

• Blinky antenna topper
• Homer's Hedges player banner
• Garbage-themed wheels
• 20,000 experience points for each challenge

If the key art is any indication, it appears fans will also receive rims with a TV showing the show's opening credits, Kang and Kodos topper, a sprinkled donut boost trail, and boost effects themed to burning tires and Krusty Burger.

Event Timing and Fortnite Connection

This event lines up with the major The Simpsons invasion of Fortnite's island, which brings a brand-new playable area of the fictional town, as well as a 30-day seasonal progression system. This special Rocket League and Simpsons event launches on Saturday, Nov. 1 and concludes on Nov. 17.
