We already knew that The Simpsons was collaborating with Fortnite, but that's not the only destination where fans can immerse themselves in the world of Springfield. The beloved show is also making its way to Rocket League, introducing an vehicle customization option that will also be usable in the Fortnite universe. However, whether players will actually want to equip it is a different matter, as fans have their hearts set on just one Springfield car the community is eager to drive, and this new offering isn't that one.

What Fans Really Want

While many players would absolutely enjoy to compete behind the wheel of Homer's custom creation—the notoriously impractical car the patriarch designed personally in the 1991 installment "the one where he meets Herb"—regrettably, that isn't what's being offered. Not even getting the massive SUV, the enormous truck featured in season 10. Instead, fans are getting the family's everyday well-worn sedan, which has been in the family since 1989. Even though this specific vehicle has seen better days, it stands as an recognizable element of the series. For those who analyze Rocket League car hitboxes, the trusty sedan uses the identical collision model as the Dominus body type.

More Than Just a Car

But that's not the only customization item from the show coming to the game. This limited-time event will additionally feature a set of objectives to earn more goodies, all of which are inspired by the show. According to a press release, the missions will require players to "get as many centers and clears as there are The Simpsons years on air, gather boost canisters as if your navigation is set to the Simpson residence, and travel a specific distance worthy of acquiring the perfect donuts!"

While the complete list of challenge rewards isn't yet revealed, here is what has been confirmed up to this point:

• Blinky antenna topper
• Homer's hedge-themed banner
• Waste wheels
• 20,000 experience points for each challenge

If the key art is a reliable guide, it seems fans will also get wheels with a TV displaying The Simpsons' title sequence, Kang and Kodos topper, a frosted doughnut trail, and boost effects inspired by smoldering rubber and Krusty's famous restaurant.

Launch Dates and Crossover Details

The Rocket League collaboration lines up with the major Simpsons takeover of Fortnite's island, which includes a completely new map of the fictional town, as well as a month-long seasonal progression system. This special Rocket League and Simpsons event launches on November 1st and ends on November 17th.
