The Fortnite map has been completely overhauled into "Springfield Island," an accurate recreation of the fictional town of The Simpsons.

The island is designed in a cel-shaded style that faithfully adheres to the aesthetic of the original TV show.

The new island features nine Points of Interest (POIs), a mix of iconic locations from The Simpsons and Fortnite-specific POIs.

Some of the locations available to explore include the Nuclear Power Plant, Evergreen Terrace, Moe's Diner, Krusty Burger, and the Simpsons Residence.

This mini-season of The Simpsons Fortnite Season will last for almost an entire month, beginning on November 1, 2025, and ending on November 29, 2025.

Following this period, Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 will begin, bringing further new content and story.

This season of Fortnite's The Simpsons collaboration introduces several The Simpsons characters as playable skins.

Players can choose to fight as Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Krusty, or Ned Flanders, each with authentic and hilarious details.

In addition, a new The Simpsons-themed Battle Pass is available, packed with various skins, cosmetics, and free V-Bucks.

Players will also receive a new companion called Peels Sidekick, who will accompany them in every match.

Furthermore, additional skins, such as the Springfielder Peely Skin, can be unlocked starting November 11, 2025.

This season opens with a spectacular in-game live event titled "Welcome Our Alien Overlords," featuring Kang and Kodos.

This event serves as a transition bridge from Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 to Fortnite Chapter 6: Mini Season 2, setting the tone for the upcoming storyline.

The main storyline of The Simpsons Fortnite Season 2 involves a Zero Point shard accidentally landing in the hands of Homer Simpson.

On their journey, players will encounter characters like Homer, Marge, Bart, and Flanders.

They will also have to battle evil versions of favorite characters, such as "Evil Homer" and "Witch Marge," to obtain valuable loot.

The Simpsons Fortnite Season 1 also introduces several exciting new gameplay features.

One of these is glass shattering physics, which allows players to realistically shatter windows and other glass objects.

Camp Bart is introduced as a new capture point on the map, offering players a strategic location to secure resources.

Additionally, a new loot pool now contains only all hitscan weapons, changing the dynamics of in-game gunfights.

For this season, the bus driver who transports players to the battlefield will be Otto, an iconic character from The Simpsons.

In early November 2025, coinciding with the launch of The Simpsons Fortnite Season 1, Fortnite servers experienced widespread downtime and login issues.

Scheduled maintenance to apply update v38.00 began around 11:30 AM ET / 3:30 PM UTC / 3:30 PM GMT, after the live event concluded.

While the initial downtime estimate was approximately five hours, widespread login and in-game issues led to an extended maintenance period.

Thousands of users reported errors such as "Profile Query Failed" and "Failed to Download Supervised Settings.

"This issue is not limited to a single platform, but affects all platforms, including PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Android.
