Launch Date & Season Duration
The Fortnite x The Simpsons mini-season officially launched on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at 11:00 AM ET (4:00 PM CET). The launch was preceded by a live event titled "Welcome, Our Alien Overlords" featuring Kang and Kodos attempting to take over Fortnite Island.
The season will run for exactly one month: November 1 – December 1, 2025. After the Simpsons season concludes, Fortnite Chapter 7 will begin with an entirely new map.
"This is the most ambitious Fortnite crossover ever created," said Epic Games in their official announcement. "We've completely rebuilt Fortnite Island as Springfield to give players a unique experience."
The Story: Homer & Zero Point
The season's narrative centers on Homer Simpson discovering a Zero Point shard – the core energy source of the Fortnite universe – and attaching it to his TV remote control. This chaotic decision triggers a series of catastrophic events that slowly corrupt Springfield throughout the month.
Players must navigate this corrupting island while uncovering the consequences of Homer's actions. The story unfolds through weekly animated shorts that reveal new map changes and plot twists each week.
