The map for the Fortnite Simpsons Season has been completely updated to be a full recreation of Springfield, including the Nuclear Power Plant, Evergreen Terrace, the town square, and a whole lot more. Both the map and the new characters are presented as cel-shaded art, in keeping with the show itself.

Also in keeping with the show, there are plenty of Fortnite Hidden Gags based on classic The Simpsons bits, such as finding a tray of Skinner's famous Steamed Hams or attempting to jump the Springfield Gorge. If you're having trouble tracking down all 12 of these references, our separate guide has you covered.

Another addition for this season was the arrival of Fortnite Sidekicks, which are an evolution of the Pets cosmetics launched way back in Season 6 of Chapter 1. These companions will follow you around in the battle royale and earn points as they do, which can be used to unlock further cosmetics for them.
