Fortnite and The Simpsons Unite for Live Event on November 1

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Epic Games will host a live event titled ‘Welcome, Our Alien Overlords’ in Fortnite on November 1 at 11 AM ET. The event features beloved characters from The Simpsons, including Kang and Kodos, and kicks off a new mini-season themed around the iconic television show.

This event marks a collaboration between Fortnite and The Simpsons, bringing Springfield to the game. Players can expect a fresh map, new skins, and a Battle Pass infused with Springfield themes. The excitement has been building, with a countdown clock displayed next to Bart‘s Treehouse in-game to remind players of the upcoming festivities.

As anticipation grows, players are encouraged to log in at least 30 minutes early to secure their spot in the pre-event lobby. This is particularly important as past events have seen server crowding, causing login delays. ‘You dare not miss it,’ the Fortnite Twitter account warned players.

While the full details of the event remain under wraps, players can expect a dynamic experience that may include new gameplay features. Epic Games has confirmed that the live event should last about 20 minutes, and it will transition into a brief downtime for game updates afterward.

The new season is planned to launch later on November 1, with new content becoming available around 5 PM ET. The previous season, Chapter 6 Season 4, is wrapping up, paving the way for this unique crossover event.

As fans prepare for this unprecedented collaboration, the gaming community is buzzing with enthusiasm. Many are hopeful for a slew of new activities inspired by the series, enhancing the ever-evolving Fortnite experience. ‘Flaming Moe, anyone?’ joked one fan, hinting at potential iconic in-game items inspired by The Simpsons.
