We already knew that the iconic animated series was collaborating with Fortnite, but this isn't the sole place where enthusiasts can experience the world of Springfield. The beloved show is also making its way to the popular soccer-driving hybrid, introducing an vehicle customization option that will also be compatible in Fortnite. That said, whether players will actually want to use it is a different matter, as fans have their hearts set on just one Springfield car the community is itching to get behind the wheel of, and this isn't it.

The Dream Vehicle

Although most gamers would absolutely enjoy to compete behind the wheel of Homer's custom creation—the notoriously impractical automobile the patriarch designed personally in the 1991 installment "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"—regrettably, that isn't what players are receiving. Not even receiving the massive SUV, the heavy-duty truck featured in the tenth season. Rather, players will obtain the Simpsons' standard well-worn sedan, which they've been driving since 1989. Though this particular car has seen better days, it stands as an recognizable symbol of the series. And for players who analyze the game's vehicle dimensions, the Simpson family car uses the identical collision model as the Dominus body type.

More Than Just a Car

And it's not the sole cosmetic from the series coming to Rocket League. The event will additionally feature a series of challenges to earn additional rewards, all of which are Simpsons-themed. As detailed in a press release, the challenges will task players to "get as many centers and clears as there are The Simpsons years on air, collect boost pickups as if your GPS is set to The Simpsons’ residence, and travel a specific distance sufficient for picking up the perfect donuts!"

Although the complete list of earnable items hasn't been disclosed, here is what has been confirmed up to this point:

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

Based on promotional images is any indication, it appears players will also get wheels featuring a TV displaying the show's title sequence, alien antenna toppers, a frosted doughnut trail, and rocket boosts themed to smoldering rubber and Krusty's famous restaurant.
