We already knew that The Simpsons was collaborating with Epic Games' battle royale, but this isn't the sole place where fans can immerse themselves in the universe of Springfield. The long-running series is coming over to Rocket League, introducing an vehicle customization option that will also be compatible in Fortnite. However, whether players will actually want to equip it is a different matter, as fans have their hearts set on just one Springfield vehicle the community is eager to get behind the wheel of, and this isn't it.

The Dream Vehicle

Although most players would absolutely enjoy to face off while driving The Homer—the notoriously impractical car the patriarch designed personally in the 1991 episode "the one where he meets Herb"—regrettably, that isn't what players are receiving. We aren't even getting the Canyonero, the enormous vehicle showcased in season 10. Rather, fans are getting the family's everyday beat-up four-door, which has been in the family since the show's early days. Even though this specific vehicle has accumulated plenty of miles, it stands as an recognizable element of the show. And for players who pay attention to the game's vehicle dimensions, the trusty sedan shares the identical collision model as the Dominus body type.

Additional Themed Cosmetics

But that's not the only cosmetic from the series arriving in Rocket League. This limited-time event will additionally feature a set of challenges to earn additional goodies, all of which are Simpsons-themed. According to a press release, the challenges will task players to "get as many centers and clears as there are the show's seasons, gather boost canisters as if your navigation is set to the Simpson house, and drive a distance worthy of acquiring the ideal pastries!"

While the full lineup of earnable items isn't yet disclosed, here is what's been announced so far:

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

Based on promotional images is a reliable guide, it appears fans will also get wheels featuring a TV showing The Simpsons' opening credits, alien antenna toppers, a sprinkled donut boost trail, and rocket boosts themed to smoldering rubber and Krusty Burger.

Launch Dates and Crossover Details

This event coincides with the major The Simpsons invasion of Fortnite, which brings a brand-new map of Springfield, as well as a month-long Battle Pass. The Rocket League x The Simpsons celebration begins on Saturday, Nov. 1 and ends on November 17th.
