The Simpsons are returning to Fortnite with new and improved content on July 30, but this time Springfield will be featured as a Reload map. Epic Games has confirmed some of the new and returning content, including the Simpson’s version of John Wick and a new Sprite.
Last year’s Fortnite x The Simpsons crossover event was a massive success for Epic Games, delivering an explorable, cel-shaded version of Springfield. The map’s return in Fortnite Reload will also bring back several fan-favorite loot items, including the Mr. Blasty gun, Krusty Burger, Blinky Fish, Super Squishee, and the Cartoon Chainsaw.
With this being the Reload version of Springfield, the map will also feature re-lootable chests and the ability to reboot as solo players. The Tactical Assault Rifle is included as a new weapon for the event.
Homer and Moe the bartender are featured on the promo art for Fortnite Reload, and they’re joined by the Fortnite version of John Wick, who will also have a Sprite available to find on the map. Keeping with the John Wick theme, Springfield will also add Wick’s The Confidential Simpson’s location as a new area to explore on the map.
A Spiderman Brand New Day Fortnite collaboration will also arrive soon, including new movie-themed skins and the return of Web-Shooters.
Currently, Fortnite is celebrating a DC Comics-themed event with Hot Bat Summer, featuring swimsuit versions of Catwoman, Batman, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy.
