It was previously announced that the iconic animated series was collaborating with Fortnite, but that's not the only destination where fans can immerse themselves in the world of Springfield. The long-running series is also making its way to the popular soccer-driving hybrid, bringing along an vehicle customization option that will also be usable in Fortnite. However, if gamers will truly desire to use it is another question, as there's only one Springfield vehicle the community is itching to drive, and this new offering isn't that one.

What Fans Really Want

While many gamers would absolutely enjoy to compete behind the wheel of Homer's custom creation—the notoriously impractical car the patriarch built himself in the classic episode "the one where he meets Herb"—regrettably, that isn't what's being offered. We aren't even getting the Canyonero, the enormous vehicle featured in the tenth season. Rather, players will obtain the family's standard beat-up four-door, which has been in the family since the show's early days. Though this specific vehicle has seen better days, it remains an recognizable element of the series. For those who analyze the game's vehicle dimensions, the trusty sedan uses the identical collision model as the Dominus.

More Than Just a Car

And it's not the sole customization item from the show coming to Rocket League. The event will also include a set of challenges to earn more goodies, all of which are inspired by the show. According to a press release, the missions will task participants to "get as many centers and clears as there are The Simpsons seasons, collect boost pickups as if your navigation is set to The Simpsons’ house, and drive a distance worthy of acquiring the ideal pastries!"

While the full lineup of earnable items isn't yet disclosed, here is what's been announced up to this point:

• Blinky topper
• Homer's hedge-themed banner
• Waste wheels
• 20,000 XP per challenge

Based on promotional images is any indication, it seems players will also get wheels with a television showing the show's title sequence, alien antenna toppers, a sprinkled donut boost trail, and rocket boosts themed to smoldering rubber and Krusty Burger.

Launch Dates and Crossover Details

The Rocket League collaboration coincides with the major Simpsons invasion of Fortnite, which includes a brand-new map of Springfield, as well as a 30-day Battle Pass. This special Rocket League and Simpsons celebration launches on November 1st and ends on November 17th.
