\u201cThe Simpsons\u201d have couch-gagged their way into \u201cFortnite,\u201d completely taking over the game\u2019s maps, shop and battle pass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Released Nov. 1, the season was teased beforehand with Kang and Kodos \u2014 the slobbering, green, one-eyed aliens most commonly seen in \u201cTreehouse of Horror\u201d episodes \u2014 following the Battle Bus as players launched into the game. When the season officially launched, major locations switched from their usual themes to well-known ones from the series. These include Burns Manor, Cletus\u2019 Corn Hole, Corruption Corners, Donut District, Evergreen Terrace, Kamp Krusty, Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, Springfield Slurpworks and Springfield Town Square. A majority of these locations feature heavily throughout the 37 seasons of \u201cThe Simpsons,\u201d though Kamp Krusty was only featured in the Season 4 opener, \u201cKamp Krusty,\u201d and in Season 28, Episode 15, \u201cKamp Krustier.\u201d Springfield Slurpworks is similar, featuring first in Season 35, Episode 12, \u201cLisa Gets an F1\u201d as Springfield Tasselworks \u2014 a now closed-down factory that once made nipple tassels. Corruption Corners is a bleedover from the \u201cFortnitemares\u201d Halloween event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with these locations, three bosses will also spawn throughout the map: Ned Flanders, Krusty the Clown and Witch Marge. Ironically enough, the Ned Flanders boss has claimed the most player kills so far, with a staggering 33,000. The Battle Bus driver has also been renamed to Otto, who drives the bus for Springfield Elementary in the series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The battle pass features iconic moments from \u201cThe Simpsons,\u201d as well. Among the tiers, players will find Marge Simpson, Blinky Fishstick, Ned Flanders and Homer Simpson. Witch Marge, Hazardous Blinky Fishstick and Stupid Sexy Flanders also feature on the battle pass as cosmetics. Witch Marge comes from Season 9, Episode 4, \u201cTreehouse of Horror VII,\u201d while Stupid Sexy Flanders is from Season 11, Episode 10, \u201cLittle Big Mom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the extra levels of the battle pass is \u201cEvil Homer,\u201d which comes from Season 4, Episode 20, \u201cWhacking Day,\u201d and includes an emote of Homer shaking donut maracas and singing \u201cI am Evil Homer.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peely, like Fishstick, was also given a Springfielder makeover and is cel-shaded in the show\u2019s iconic style. Featuring as rewards for completing weekly quests, Springfielder Peely also has \u201cPeelfessor Frink\u201d cosmetics, based on the character Professor John Frink, and includes a glider, back bling and skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shop\u2019s takeover features iconic characters Krusty the Clown, Moe Syslak, Bart Simpson and Lisa Simpson, as well as \u201cThe Simpsons\u201d theme and \u201cThe Monorail Song,\u201d which featured in Season 4, Episode 12, \u201cMarge vs. the Monorail.\u201d Emotes based on other iconic \u201cSimpsons\u201d moments include Flaming Slurp, based on a Flaming Moe; Saxophone Solo, which features Lisa\u2019s iconic solo from the theme; Homer\u2019s Hedge Retreat from Season 5, Episode 16, \u201cHomer Loves Flanders\u201d; and Squishee Boarding, featuring a squishee from the Kwik-E Mart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sidekicks were also introduced this season, with players who bought the battle pass able to immediately claim and customize \u201cPeels,\u201d a little dog shaped like a banana. Sidekicks are equipable and will follow players throughout various game modes, as well as emote with them and celebrate when they get a kill. Other sidekicks include Mothman Jr., Cuddle Team Jr., Spike and Flopsticks. Plopper, from \u201cThe Simpsons Movie,\u201d is available in the shop as a sidekick, as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Simpsons\u201d will stick around until the end of November, just in time for Winterfest to kick off. Fans will have the annual advent calendar, snow-covered map and other winter-themed items and skins to look forward to. Winterfest kicks off Dec. 1 when \u201cFortnite\u201d updates automatically in the shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
