Fortnite might be gearing up for yet another wild crossover—this time with one of the most iconic animated families in pop culture history. Yes, The Simpsons could be on their way to the island, and recent leaks and in-game clues suggest that Springfield may soon collide with the Fortnite multiverse.

Are The Simpsons Coming to Fortnite?

The latest round of leaks has Fortnite fans digging deep into the game’s latest Utopia City. Eagle-eyed players and leakers like @djlorenzouasset and @SentinelCentral have spotted posters scattered throughout the city featuring pink, glazed donuts—yep, just like Homer’s favorite snack—but with bugs crawling on them.

Seems random? Not quite.

The posters are now believed to be teasing not one but two upcoming themes: a “bug invasion” (reportedly confirmed for Chapter 6 Season 4) and a Simpsons-themed mini-season expected to follow immediately after. The bugs represent the alien invasion storyline, while the donut? That’s unmistakably Homer Simpson territory.

“Since the ‘bug invasion’ theme is confirmed for next season, and we have a Simpsons mini-season right after, this poster could be an in-game teaser for them,” @djlorenzouasset noted on X.

While nothing is officially confirmed by Epic Games, Fortnite players know this pattern all too well—visual teasers often precede full-on collaborations. It’s exactly how Fallout, Star Wars, and even the Marvel events were slowly teased before launch.

A Springfield Map on the Horizon?

Popular leaker @Loolo_WRLD added fuel to the fire by claiming the Simpsons content might include an entire new mini-map based on Springfield. While it likely won’t be the size of the current island, the smaller scale would reportedly be similar to what fans experienced with Fortnite Reload or the recent Galactic Battle mini-season.

The leaker also suggested that the mini-season could run for about one month, with weekly updates, just like the last mini-season, Star Wars Galactic Battle.

Crossover Timing: Between Chapter 6 and Chapter 7?

Trusted Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR has also hinted that The Simpsons event might act as a bridge between Chapter 6 and Chapter 7. Here’s how the timeline could play out:

Chapter 6 Season 4 brings the climax with an alien/bug invasion
Once that concludes, The Simpsons mini-season drops while fans await Chapter 7
Chapter 7 may reportedly shift gears with Norse mythology themes, though that’s still speculative

Why This Crossover Makes Sense

While the connection might seem unexpected, there’s actually a strong corporate reason this could happen: Disney owns The Simpsons, and Epic Games partnered with Disney in a $1.5 billion deal announced in early 2024. That opens the door for IP like Marvel, Star Wars, and yes—The Simpsons—to join Fortnite’s ever-expanding universe.

In fact, many latest leaks have come true, such as the Star Wars: Galactic Battle season and the current Superhero Super Season, featuring Superman and Robin. That track record has fans feeling pretty optimistic about Springfield's arrival.

What Could We See in the Crossover?

While it’s all speculation for now, here’s what fans are hoping to see:

Playable skins of Homer, Bart, Marge, Lisa, and even Mr. Burns
A Springfield POI or limited-time map
Back bling like Homer’s donut or Bart’s skateboard
Emotes referencing classic Simpsons moments—“Ay, caramba!” anyone?

Of course, until Epic officially confirms it, all of this should be taken with a grain of salt. But hey, if it turns out to be true—D'oh!—we’re in for a treat.
