Fortnite Announces Simpsons Season & New Island
The Simpsons Are Officially Coming to Fortnite
The announcement fans have been begging for is finally here — The Simpsons are arriving in Fortnite. After years of speculation, teases, and cartoon crossovers like Peter Griffin and Hank Hill, Epic Games is bringing Springfield to the island with an all-new season packed full of surprises.
The iconic donut teaser at Utopia City confirmed what many suspected. Look closely and you’ll notice tiny bugs crawling over the donut — a double teaser for Chapter 6 Season 4’s bug invasion theme and the Simpsons mini-season that follows.
This highly anticipated season won’t take place on the Battle Royale island. Instead, it’s getting its own Springfield-themed map roughly the size of the Reload map. Expect locations like the Simpsons’ house, the Nuclear Power Plant, and more familiar spots reimagined in Fortnite style.

Springfield, Bugs & A New Battle Pass
Chapter 6 Season 4 will kick off with a bug-themed season — but we’re not talking about ants and spiders. Leaks suggest a terrifying alien insect invasion tied to the zero point shard and spires across the map. One theory, pulled from the Batman Zero Point comics, points to alien bugs escaping from the zero point itself.
This could lead to a live event that destroys the current Chapter 6 island, making room for the smaller Springfield map. The new battle pass will include fan-favorite characters like Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa Simpson, though Epic still hasn’t revealed how younger characters like Bart and Lisa will be adapted into gameplay.
As for the villain? Rumors suggest Mr. Burns may take the spotlight if the Demon Daigo and Dark Presence arcs conclude with Season 4’s live event. This would give the story a fresh, comedic tone and give fans a break from the darker themes of recent seasons.
Love on the Island & A Hidden Glitch
While most eyes are on the Simpsons, some players have noticed new lore forming in Chapter 6 between Kendo and Hope, and even a confirmed relationship between battle pass skins Morgan Mist and Haley Sky. Fortnite even referenced the duo in a TikTok video titled “My dream date cute.”
Elsewhere, a glitch discovered in the Fortnite Reload Squid Game Island allows players to sneak under the map and explore off-limit areas. It’s wild, and while clearly unintended, it’s become a viral sensation.
