It was previously announced that the iconic animated series was collaborating with Fortnite, but that's not the only place where enthusiasts can experience the world of Springfield. The long-running series is coming over to Rocket League, bringing along an vehicle customization option that will also be usable in Fortnite. That said, whether players will actually want to equip it is another question, as there's only one Simpsons vehicle the community is eager to drive, and this isn't it.

The Dream Vehicle

While many gamers would absolutely enjoy to face off behind the wheel of Homer's custom creation—the famously flawed car the patriarch designed himself in the 1991 installment "the one where he meets Herb"—regrettably, that isn't what players are receiving. We aren't even receiving the massive SUV, the heavy-duty vehicle showcased in the tenth season. Rather, players will obtain the Simpsons' standard beat-up sedan, which they've been driving since 1989. Though this specific vehicle has seen better days, it remains an iconic element of the show. For those who pay attention to the game's car hitboxes, the Simpson family car shares the same hitbox as the Dominus body type.

More Than Just a Car

But that's not the only cosmetic from the series coming to Rocket League. The event will also include a set of challenges to unlock more goodies, all of which are inspired by the show. As detailed in a press release, the challenges will require participants to "get as many centers and clears as there are the show's seasons, gather boost canisters as if your GPS is set to the Simpson house, and travel a specific distance sufficient for picking up the ideal pastries!"

Although the full lineup of earnable items hasn't been revealed, here is what's been announced up to this point:

• Blinky antenna topper
• Homer's Hedges player banner
• Garbage-themed wheels
• 20,000 experience points for each challenge

Based on promotional images is a reliable guide, it seems players will also get rims featuring a television showing The Simpsons' opening credits, alien antenna toppers, a frosted doughnut trail, and rocket boosts themed to burning tires and Krusty Burger.

Launch Dates and Crossover Details

This event coincides with the extensive Simpsons invasion of Fortnite's island, which brings a brand-new playable area of Springfield, as well as a 30-day Battle Pass. The Rocket League x The Simpsons celebration launches on November 1st and ends on November 17th.
