Overview
- Epic confirmed the launch for Saturday at 11 a.m. ET (12 p.m. in Argentina) via its official Fortnite account.
- The company says players will complete special missions to unlock rewards as part of the collaboration.
- Reporting and social-media leaks point to a dedicated Battle Pass, a Springfield-inspired island layout, and skins for key characters such as Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Ned Flanders, Moe, and Krusty.
- Several outlets say the tie-in will span a full season into early 2026, a timeframe not yet formally confirmed by Epic.
- Player guides recommend logging in early to avoid server congestion and expect a maintenance window after the live event as the new season deploys.
